Default Paint For EF

Does anyone know where i can get the stock paint colors from the EF civics? I am going to paint my car myself and dont want to take the car to a shop to get a stock color. I am specifically looking for 88-89 Almond cream YR-88 Or 90-91 Cappucino Brown Mettalic Clearcoat YR-501M. Any help would be most appreciated.

so you are looking to buy your own paint? you have the paint code. Go to the paint store, and give it to them and say "I want this paint"

i dont get how any more simple it could be then that.

paint isnt going to cost much more than it did to rattle can it. i want a better quality paint than rattle can. how will it cost me more than the car? i payed 1200 for the car you really think a few cans of paint will be more than 1200? very doubtful.

paint products alone, if you buy the right stuff, can cost you over a grand easily... it really depends on how much quality and shine you want. but if you want to save money u can buy cheaper products. it all depends on what you are trying to achieve that will make the difference. and still theres all the sand paper and maskin paper. any other odd ends that you many need. that you have to include as far as pricing goes.

Just to chime in factory paint is alot more expensive thats why the guy a few posts up said $50 paint job because the paint is like 12$ a quart. After that you could buy the clear coat w/ metallic flakes or add em. GL either way. I'd hate to see my girl go thru that much effort to hate on my car hahaha. Almost as bad as going on facebook. lol GL man.

Its cool she just thinks my car is ugly but she drives a 91 BMW 525i so not much room to talk lol. I have all the sand paper and masking products already. Im really just looking for a nice cream color doesnt have to be a stock color. Im just going to go to a piant store and mix something up. Thanks for all the help though. Im not trying to make my car hella flashy by adding flake or trying to get some crazy *** color. A nice gloss or satin paint would be just fine for me.
