i know honda dealership offers oem paint in a spray can but can be expensive if you need alot.

try autozone, pepboys, kragen, etc and look for it there. they also have a paint code book at the store.

You're a retard. Don't post if you don't know.

All 96-00 civic coupes that are red are millano red, except for coral, which is ultra-rare and ultra-ugly. R-81-P is milano red.

And OP, you're not going to match millano out of a can. It's a tricoat paint. It has a red basecoat, a red candy, and a clear. Duplicolor is a poor substitute, but if you're ghetto, it works.

Honda no longer offers millano red touch-up paint, because it's a tricoat, so it was two bottles per kit, and they discontinued the color.

Dont forget to clear coat it also. And wetsand it after the clear or it wont match.

Hiroshima_VTi-S

im painting the following.......

side mirrors, door handles, side moldings, side skirts, and plate number panel.

do you think it would be difficult to wet sand it?

i am using the dupli-color "clear coat" is that wet sandable?

please reply.... so i can desides if i should wet sand it or leave it alone...

tha_badguy

wetsanding is overkill for spray paint

Hiroshima_VTi-S

Your paint is not going to match. It'll match the base color, but in sunlight, it'll stand out like a sore thumb.

Again you show that you know nothing. You dont wetsand paint. You wetsand the clearcoat.

After you'v painted everything and gone over it with 3 coats of clear, put some lacquer(sp) thinner in a spray bottle. Wet the area you want to sand. Keep it wet while you sand it with 2000grit sand paper. It will make a big difference.

THen you have to 3 step the areas you wet sanded. It's a process of buffing the paint. You get a buffer and buff with the following.

1. Wool Pad--Cuts the clear coat and gets most of the noticable scratches out.
2. Green pad---Covers up the scratches the wool pad made
3. Blue pad---- Polishes the paint to a mirror finish

Then you have to paste wax everything you buffed to seal the finish. It's a long process but this is the correct way. I just did it on my hatchback and it made a world of difference.

I'm sure someone will corect me about something. I'm no professional. So correct me if I'm wrong

I wouldn't use wax on a fresh coat of paint, but that's just my inner child talking .... inner child that grew up in a paint shop

Use glaze for the first week, every day.
