hello every one. ive got the same problem alot of other ss owners have. the paint on my wing is practicly gone so ive dicited to paint it.

i would like to pray paint it the same color as the car but finding the paint will be hard unless anyone knows the number on a specific can/ brand of spray paint.

the color of my car is Winestone Pearl.

if theres no way to find the same color im just going to paint it black.


thanks, Andy

you can have a paint shop mix up a can of the proper color and have it put into a spray can.

just tell them the paint code and they will put it in a can.

some will even mix from a paint chip so that it will match the faded paint on the rest of the car.

Mine is just painted black......

same here, I just chipped off the old paint and sprayed some John Deere Blitz Black. It's a nice flat color.

the black looks good on bright red but i am not sure how good it would look on a winestone pearl car.

do you know how much that generaly cost? thats an awsome idea. and if its within my check book that will be my choice.

it depends on the type of paint you want.

20-30 bucks is my guess for a 12 oz. can.

oh sweet deal. ill go start my project some time this weekend. thank you all for the help.

They do exact factory colors and can put them in spray cans for you.

$24.95 per can and $7.95 shipping for 1 can and an extra dollar per extra can after the first.

ok everyone its been a little bit, but ive started my project. went to a paint shop called..... bobs paint shop.... got the stock color of my car, and put in a can for $19.65. then got some 220 gain and 400 grain sand paper to prep the wing. then i got a can of red primer.

ive got two coats of primer on now an its lookin pretty good .

keep us posted with more pics too

ok, ive got about three coats of paint on it. ive done three coast on the top that was all chipped off, and one coat on the bottom. it only needs a little on bottom.

here some more pic's.











it will look alot better in the sunlight when its on the car.

Wet sand it with a very high grit sand paper and then buff it with some polishing compound. That will help get rid of the orange peel and make it shine better.

ive had my wing done for about, 2 days now. ive never painted before and it dosent look too bad.


if i wet sand it like you said it probley will come out a little better.

i also repainted my hood scoop too. it was chipping all to hell to. i did a better job on it and looks really nice. ill post a pic.

ok i just went and snapped some more pics of the wing and some of my repainted hood scoop too. enjoy



looks like paint chips but thats just dead bugs


next thing the fix are those windshield wiper arms






not too bad eh? ive never spray pained before.


bugs love cars at 115mph lol

Buy new wiper arms. I wasted time trying to get the rust off so it could reappear in a few months until I found out the arms were only like $12 from the dealer.

cool, i didn't know they where that cheap. maybe ill post a "how to" next on the arms.


thanks, Andy
