Cool Want: Some TCM Spray paint!

Had to replace my BSP '06 with a Thunder Cloud Metallic.

Wanting to pull the rear wiper off. It seems to be pretty easy to find BSP spray paint for around $12, which is what I used to paint the plug that fills the hole left by the wiper.

I am having a hard time locating some cheap TCM spray paint. =/

Anyone have a relatively fresh can in the garage I can buy off ya?

I think I'll just leave it black for now.

Here is another Idea: Way back in 2008, in my DYI on:

I mention you can get a Chrome plug at your local hardware store for a buck (I do not know the Current price)
or you can Check Out this Vendor which sells the TCM color matched Wiper plug now for $17:


Wiper-plug-V2

Another Tip, you can get TCM Touch Up Paint from your Toyota Dealer depending on how good is your Painting Skills.

@MR_LUV, I've used those same plugs to do this, and that's exactly why I was looking for TCM paint. =)

Thanks for the tip about that vendor! That's great to know about.

I was impatient, and just painted it black for now. You can see it, and the exact plug/barcode for the "metal hole plug" on Instagram:

@tcq, For something that small, consider a little touch up paint. It's not going to have a professional finish.
My hands are not that steady is why I went with the Vendor plug on my previous Toaster.



Here is the Link for the TCM touch up paint. It's only $5.99 which I think is even cheaper than your Dealership.
I would try a 2" sponge applicator brush with a light coat should do the trick.

MR_LUV Thanks!

I was being lazy and just wanted a spray can. But you're right -- it looks like the best way to do this tiny project is just use a brush/touch-up kit. They are definitely affordable.

Thanks all!
