SoobyDoobyDoo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Anyone ever tried to match oem paint or found a vendor who decently matched? I’m not talking about the touch up pen either (already have one), I’m talking about buying a quart and spraying with a gun. Found a few places online but I’m weary to just buy and try if someone else has found somewhere/someone who offered a decent match. I’ve got some rear view mirrors that are scratched up pretty well and also wanting to get some spats, but I’d like to re-spray prior to installing on the car. Edit: my car is RBP Edited July 21, 2023 by SoobyDoobyDoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I've used paintscratch.com a number of times in the past for paint - usually in a rattle can, though - looking at their website, they offer paint in pint, quart, and gallon size (as well as a couple of small bottle sizes) as well. If you are just doing a couple of mirror scalps, I'd go with a rattle can (they sell kits with various primers, clears, etc.) - I think a quart would be way more than you'd need to shoot a few small parts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobyDoobyDoo Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Yeah I’d prefer to do rattle can as well, that is one of the places I have been looking at. I’ve got a HVLP paint sprayer at home that I have sprayed some interior panels with in the past, but that was for SEM interior paint that did not need to be to be mixed like a 2 stage paint for car bodies. My real concern is the tint matching as well as having the pearl flakes already pre-mixed in. I know pearl is more of a two stage paint just because of the nature of pearl colors. I would be doing the two mirrors and a grill so I think a rattle can will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino6303 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Find a local auto body supply store. They'll most likely mix paint and put it in a spray can. I've done it several times with good results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
