Where can I get factory paint? Or factory-esque paint?

[_stephanie_]

I've got a new bumper cover on the way and I've got a guy that can paint it up for me.

Wondering where I can get enough "Spruce Pearl" to do the job.

Cheers and thanks...

Pop the hood. Go to a paint shop. Tell them the color code. Get the paint.

I'd recomend getting the bumper painted professionally. You have paint that is at least 10 years old, and you'll have a bumper getting painted fresh. The two colors will clash as you'll have faded 10 year old paint right up against brand new paint.

A shop will blend it in and make it look good. It probably wouldn't cost very much to get it painted either.

You can try http://www.paintscratch.com

Or you should be able to get it mixed at any auto body supply store. You will need to give them your paint code,which is located on the tag in the engine compartment.

most places take the color code only as a starting point, they then take your gas lid and stick in under a cam of some sort and they can account for the fade and stuff. That option is free at the place near my house.

Definitely do what others have suggested. And don't be skimpy. I can show you a very good picture of what happens when you get cheap with painting on my car.

Hi all:

Thanks for the information and recommendations. Fortunately the guy I've got lined up works at a body shop and should be able to take care of the blending. He did some work on a friend's truck and it looks great.

Just wanted to get my act together on the paint ahead of time.

Thanks!
