Title: Paint?
Post by: Rcarder407 on February 28, 2009, 10:25:38 PM
Anyone know a good place to get paint. When i do my quarter panel I want to try to blend it with the rest of the paint. I just want to paint the quarter, front bumper, header and leave the rest the way it is. My paint code is 91 Smoke Metallic. Anyone know a close color to this?

The best thing is to get it scanned so the paint matches what you already have. usually a local supplier can do this for you

Agreed.  By now that grey paint may have been sunfaded, so just buying the same replacement paint will have a darker tint to it.

You can also get a BC/CC, blend the panel and then clear coat it. It shouldn't matter if there was Acryl/enam or BC/CC already on the car.
You may want to blend the fenders with the bumper.
