School me on paint, please :)

Our local NAPA can mix about any color into a spray can now. Get the paint code and take it in. Not the cheapest way to go, but cheaper than using a gun if you don't already own one.

I've used their special mix in a spray can twice and was pleased with the results. Matched the paint on my daughter's car perfectly.

Thanks! The biggest problem is actually seeing a physical copy of the color I want without buying paint and not knowing what is going to look like out of the can.

And most of the cars that have the look that I'm going for are so faded that I can't tell whether i like the color after it has been faded or the color it was before it faded.

I'll keep NAPA in mind though. Any idea on price per can? I should only need like two of each?

Went with a gunsmoke metal flake.

What do y'all think?









Had a couple pieces "chromed." The place kept downtalking the chome finish PC but I think it turned out great on these parts.



Now, just to those pesky sides and the tank...
