What, exactly, are you attempting to achieve? I only ask, because if you're looking for something with respect to color matching, then you might be on the wrong path.

Mark, the car was originally Signal Orange with a very poor paint over of Copper. I want to repaint the car and twisted between Tangerine and Sunflower Yellow. OK Quit laughing. I know Yellow is a much Faster car! I've seen the yellow in person, but never the tangerine. I want to paint some test color on the trunk lid at home to really see the color. The paint store rattle can is a good idea too. Thanks PS. Whoever these cars are..thanks for the inspiration. Bill

In PepBoys today and they had on the shelf a 1 stage epoxy rattle can - black only - for $6. Anyone tried this yet??

Any good paint shop can do this. I do this for touch up on my railings. I use Delstar. The only problem is you need to do a Qt, and it's enought to do 6 cans so it adds up. It usually cost me about $25 a can. I don't think I'ld paint a car this way.
