where to get autopaint from?

Postby flygt4 » Mon Jan 22, 2007 1:29 pm

ive touched up my front lip, and fibreglassed up all the cracks on it from bottoming it out etc and now i need to source some paint to paint it up again. its not gonna be perfect, but the cars mainly used for racing anyway :lol:

now i seem to remember that some places can get you a small spray can of paint it match the colour code from the plate on the firewall. as ive never had to paint anything on the car before i wouldnt have a clue where to go to get it :lol:

any ideas people?

take your petrol flap in too, usually matching to the paint code on a 10 year old car doesnt match the colour of the now 'old' paint that well.

Jeremy if your doing something decent sized I've got a decent spray gun at home.
