i think your best bet would be a paint supply place, i know up here you can go to one shop that will put the paint into aerosol can. good luck

$35 shipped for one 12.5 oz can? i think i'm going to need at least 2 cans for my front, rear lip, side skirts, mirrors, and side molding? isn't cheaper to buy 1 gallon of paint at the paint store?

I have 2 spray cans of Midori green I had mixed for me last summer, Sprayed one can just to test color and it looks really good... I changed my color plans, so if you want to buy them PM me for details... It'll be cheaper than paint scratch

A gallon at a paint supply store will be more. Plus you need clear, thinner, etc. You need clear for the paint scratch stuff also. You shouldn't need more then a pint im thinking.

If you buy paint outside of a spray can you'll either have to use a gun or something like Preval. Preval is avaliable at most paint supply stores, home depot, etc and costs 5 bucks each and can spray about a pint with that.

go to the autobody store ... get a single stage paint thats not that expensive

some color for about 50 bucks for a pint ... includes reducer so you can spray it
get a spray gun and go to work ....
-rememeber this is the cheap stuff .. but if done properly it should last couple years at least ...

if you want more info on kind of paint .. Hit my up on IM
