I just ordered some cyber green to try and work on some dash trim peices, so look back in 2 weeks for pics and a write-up on how I like it. The price is cheap; it was $32 for a single can shipped... which is a LOT better than the $150 I was quoted to paint my 5 trim peices at a local shop (that's their minimum work order for paint). This could also be used (possibly) to fix my driver's door handle (bad nick) and the nicks in my bumper... i'll try those later!!

I just ordered 3 cans of Platinum Gray. I'll give a review as well. Gonna do my wing with it.

Cool! We can compare notes... I want to order cans of black to do my fenders and bumpers with. What was your shipping cost for 3 cans?

Hey, they have any rubbery dash paint?

[kcfoxie]

They have factory black... will that do?

i dunno anything about the quality of one versus the other, but www.paintscratch.com has 12.5 oz (375 mL) cans for $24.95 + shipping, as opposed to Performance Cafe's 5 oz (150 mL)for $19.79 plus shipping that show up in that link.

lucky me, i found a $4-per-can Dupli-Color white close enough to my OEM white, so i don't think i'll be trying either anytime soon. i do think, however, that theres some other org members who might be able to offer insight on paintscratch.com.

Uh oh... I see metallic yellow...

There are two types. Is there any way I can preview what they look like?

I think the shipping was like $12. This site sounded better than paintscratch.com and the one other place. I think this, if the order goes well, will be the best option provided they get my color right.

I'm telling you to call the local auto paint store and ask them about color matched spray cans I pay $15.00 a can it took three to do the job but it still looks like carp. the paint store is finishmaster and I thought they were a national company but maybe not. Dont forget the clear coats (at least three) because when I spray mine on it is not shiny.

Yeah, yeah, I saw it but I still think the basic effect can be duplicated somehow...

automotivetouchup.com has been the quickest, cheapest, and easiest to deal with for me for aerosol cans of paint.
