most auto body supply stores can mix anything you want and put it in a spray can for you. Match is usually hit and miss though.

Try another store. I have a Dupont supplier here that will mix a pint to your specs and put it in a spray can. They also sell a bottle kit called pr! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !sp) allows you to mix and spray with a charged air can thing.

May be to much information, but I once got stuck in one of those things, and stopped using them.... a few years later.

It's a damned joke people.

I know exactly what you mean! I've done this with my 16 year old son! Detailed instructions on what to get, where to look, who to ask. Comes home with nothing or the wrong thing. Too much time on the computer, no verbal skills. He's getting better....
