Where to buy car paint

firzen · 06-10-2010, 11:15 PM

Hey all,

I have a couple spots on the body of my car where the paint has been scraped. I want to cover up these spots and am wondering where everybody gets their OEM paints?

Thanks.

I get paint from O'Reilly's. The one near me has a paint mixing setup. They can make anything. From Honda Eternal Blue, to Mazda Crystal White. All you need is the paint code.

It cost I believe $15 for a pint of the Honda paint, it was metallic.

Thanks, but O'Reilly's don't exist up here in the northeast... and their online store don't carry blaze red SQ...

Any other ideas?

Try searching for an auto body supply place if you want paint for the whole car. Or even calling some body shops and see where they buy paint. Shouldnt be too bad for price depending on how much you want or need. With the paint code they should be able to give you the factory colour. Now red will be one of the hardest colour's to match since it fades at different rates over the car. This may still be the best route to go even if you just want touch up paint. You can get them to colour match a chip and then you would have the same colour that is on your car.

Parts Plus/ H-O carries Limco/RM/Glasurit

I agree with just searching google. Automotive paint or bodyshop supply should do the trick.
