Rattlecans Custom Colour

[jrh001]

Hi,

I'm attempting to tidy up an older Skyline (R30). The car is silver (paint code 006) but the standard silver-grey available in auto stores is too light. I'd probably have to take off the fuel flap and get the colour matched.

Can anyone suggest where to get spray cans made up to match a specific paint colour? In in Melb, SE suburbs.

The Auto Barn I go to have a custom paint mixer, who can try to mix the paint you want as close as they can.

Better yet, give them the paint code and a sample of the colour of what it looks like and they can give it a go.

as said pretty sure any autobarn can do it for you...

Thanks for the responses. I'll try the Auto Barn store in Dandenong.

update: Autobarn Dandenong can do colour based on the paint code (but not on a sample). $30 per can.

I've also discovered that my car is platinum, not silver.

Thanks for your help.

Dandenong try Paint Mobile / The Body Shop / C D Auto Paints Supplies, I personally went to Paint Mobile and they matched my Midnight Purple LP2 (i gave them the fuel flap) cost me $110 for 1lt 2Pak mainly because it contains 2 types of pearl.

spray carefully starting and stopping your strokes outside of the area in question, something i couldn't do.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like no shortage of options in Dandenong and I ended up at Autobarn. Colour match looks good on the inside of the fuel flap. Will paint some panel sections next week.

There's some advice on spray painting soft edges in this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sp...dg-t317078.html
