Does anyone have any experience with factory color spray paint! I looking for pieces of my car that i can paint in flint mica.Is the color match pretty close? Im planning to get mudguards for my tc and spray painting it in flint mica(1E0). Here a website thats selling them. http://www.expresspaint.com/productc...?idCategory=52

 

I've always ordered stuff from:

http://paintscratch.com/

I have a gold rush mica release series 5 xb. That is a hard paint to match. But these guys were able to get me the correct paint match.

I'd would trust paintscratch guys over the express paint you posted

 

What did you paint?

 

It's easy just take your time. Get real auto paint in a rattle can from a paint shop.

 

How much would it cost to get real auto paint in a rattle can from a paint shop? Hey FLEA, what if i were to use it on a badgeless garnish. Would i have good results?

 

I painted a spoiler. LOL

They make a limited number of gold spoilers for the RS5, so I had to buy a primered one from TRD Sparks.

So you can tell, I was able to use a large can of paint from paintscratch, and color matches perfectly

 

So did you a spray nozzle? Do you have pictures?

 

I have heard good things about the paintscratch company.

 

Only 1 can was needed?

 

^$15 (real stuff). Better results than Duplicolor. Recommend a gun to spray any piece.

I got mine in a rattle can from an auto paint mix shop in the area. Perfect match. It would probably cost you around $40 for a can. Don't quote me though.

 

So wait, I shouldn't use the spray paint from http://paintscratch.com/ ?

 

yeah i was doing my garnish and i got the duplicolor and it didnt match at all

 

True, but then again the paint shop I go to gives me an average discount of 25% off.

 

ive orderd from expresspaint only bc u cant find BCP anywhere.. painted my interior pieces.. came out GREAT and it was the EXACT color !

 

watching...

 

Just make sure it's solvent based paint. Lacquer based will barely match.

 

I already own a spray nozzle, so it was easy for me to do. I actually don't have pictures, so you're going to just have to take my word for it...LOL Sorry!

I actually bought (1) quart of paint, so I'm not sure how many spray cans you would need.

Whatever you get from paintscratch.com will be pretty much 100% color matched no matter if its those really useful paint pens or spray cans.

They make the paint fresh with quality paint.

 

i've used to paint a stock spring that i use as a hood prop, used for my old hood prop, and used for painting wheel stands as well.

 

I get my paint from CarQuest. It's not rattlecan though, it's two-part and you need a HVLP gun to spray it. Also, a mask helps. They can scan your car rather than going just by paint code so they can match aged paint as well.
