I've heard that Paintscratch.com is an excellent site to order paint from. I know a lot of people here that have ordered from them. Which pieces are you ging to paint?

she used Auto-Air Colors on hers.

i got mine at Sherwin Williams Automotive Paints .. same stuff you'd use on the outside of a car..

if you've got a decent air compressor w\tank, spray gun it!!

my recommendation if you're attempting to match to factory color. go to whatever local auto paint supply place you have and have them mix it, they will use quality paint and this way you don't have to rely on internet supply. ohh yeah and local for paint is actually cheaper than online.

When I painted the doorhandles I got the paint and clearcoat from the dealer. It's closer to me than a diy store and I know the colour will be good

Doing the console in Sunshine with krylon fusion.It's great stuff, doesn't need a primer, dries quik, and looks fab when it's all done. Of course I am sanding all the grain off the plastic to make it silky smooth before the paint goes on.
