I posted this one other place but I know there are lots of folks in here If I wanted to paint something (myself) to match my truck where can I get the paint? I have no special "equipment", so can I just get a spray can somewhere that matches? I am thinking about painting my vent guards. Thanks guys!

 

you can take the paint code to an automotive paint store. buy you will need a spray gun and compressor. i dont think you will find a can that matches perfect.

go give a body shop guy 75 bucks to paint them.

 

check around.....back when i raced go-karts...yeah...yeah....i had some paint mixed at a local auot parts store that sold auto paint. they put it in a spray can that was pressurized somehow...just like a regular can of spray paint....i remember this because me and the guy custom mixed my paint to a deep burgundy/ red metallic. it came out real nice too......

 

Thanks again guys. I will check it out!

 

I'm pretty sure that DUPLICOLOR could help you out. Honestly, I could be wrong because I haven't really researched them. The PowerBlock seems to advertise them well though.

 

The local Autozone had it in tubes and spray cans. If your local parts house does not have the color, maybe they can order it for you.

 

My local Auto Paint supplier mixed my factory Dark Shoadow Gray in a spray can for around $18 large size. I painted over my chrome F150 badges for that color keyed look. First sanded, primed, taped then painted.
