attempting to paint some body parts

[boostedboxer04]

Well my car needs some paint TLC. Specifically both bumpers and fenders. I dont have the funds to have them done at a body shop so im gonna do them myself. Im well aware of the process for painting because i have done numerous sets of wheels over the years. Just never any body parts. Im going to attempt to do it with rattle cans. My question is, does anyone know where i can get OEM colors in spray cans? Thanks in advance for the the help.

I know the dodge dealer sells spray cans, and they match Very Very well. Im sure honda/Acura does too. No offence, your car will look like shit with a rattle can job.

What Panels are you planning on repainting?

When painting wheels versus painting bumpers/fenders, the results aren't going to be the same. It'll be a lot different, I guarantee you.

Your wheels might have turned out nice with a rattle can, but you need to compare the areas you're working on. Also keep in mind that the parts you're planning on painting are going to be laying right next to parts that have been professionally and properly painted with a good paint system. Prep is definitely important, but so are the paint and spray techniques.

Duplicolor makes OEM color spray cans. You can get them at your local auto store.

When I had my milano red LS I sprayed a SIR-G replica lip and stock side skirts the Duplicolor milano red cans and followed with Duplicolor clearcoat and the match was on point.
