Colour matched spray bomb

Postby Truenotch » Tue Feb 07, 2006 10:12 pm

Does anyone know of a place in Palmy that make cans spraypaint, matched a colour of a car?

I need to do some touch ups on the AW11.

Paint and paper sort of place perhaps?



Thanks.

just to be save, buy 2 cans.. as it work out abit cheaper anyway. I safe some of the paint, I use similar colour paint as base coat then use the match paint on top of it. Just be use you have same kind of paint.. enamel all the way etc.... else paint will have crazy crack or strip off! 8O
