evan got spray cans at westbrook napa and it matched... here is the thing. you need the right color primer,basecoat and enough top coats then enough clear coats to make it match. Keep in mind plastics need flex primer.

yah like pat said, there is NO WAY you are going to get them all painted from a rattle can. those cans are filled with like 1/5 of a pint of paint. or somethign silly small like that. you would need like 5 cans to put down the right amount of paint. then primer, and clearcoat. better off going down to a decently priced autobody shop for a job that big.

Topsham Napa colormatching sucks big ones

My friend cory is a well known painter. he just did my bumper for 200 and it was a hell of a deal (it was throw out time). It looks great! He has the colorchanging g35 around here and he painted it himself. He works at Lee and does side work. If you need something done at HALF THE BODY SHOP COST HE IS THE MAN... Oh yeah LIFE TIME PAINT WORK!!! HE IS THE MAN!

Keep in mind this is not yet wet sanded and is doesn't need to be it is smooth as a shaved ass... It wont be waxed for a month. If you saw it before you would know how good it was. The last shop that painted it caused the urethane to feather and the bumper was crap. 2 shops told me it was unfixable.

Maine Auto Color matches paint and mixes it in house, they are in the Nissan building of Lee, or maybe the dodge building, in auburn. unsure of price.

the car is black. I swear
paint scratch or napa. I have paint entire cars with napa rattle cans and it cost WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY less than a body shop!

the dark strip and the BRP were done with a rattle can

it can be done... and can look great... but... if not done right it will fade,crack,peal,run,oragepeel,smell bad, look bad, and be a waste of time.

I have painted a few cars with spray cans one was a 240 we did with 15 cans of walmart .99 cent spray paint in gloss black. Came out great. Still looks fine... but is faded. Had it been cleared for another $10 the car would look like it had a $400 super macco paint job.

Talk to Evan since he has painted parts with WRB in a can. He will def give you advice. PM him he is friendly to most. If he is mean to you then dont worry you prob suck as a person. I hope you dont tho.
