Where can I get a few custom cans of spray paint made up to do a few touch ups? My new Sierra is metallic blue... mostly. I want to make it completely blue.

I'm not going to get enough time in the next few months to change colour completely, so I need a quick fix

My local repco mixes colours to order in pressure pack cans for $18 (400gm cans I think?).
Would assume most stores have the capability to do so.

Might sound stupid....but i think Bunnings do it also (i know they certainly do the house paints)

Failing that i know that it may be out of your way but last time i checked 4WD (TJM Megastore) on the corner of South St and Stock Rd (actually South St and Pritchard St O'Conner) will mix up cans

Auto-one Joondalup can do it mate, has got the full set up to mix paints just as you walk in the front door. Failing that, pretty sure every auto-one can do it for you. I got a tin of paint and a spray can done by the clarkson store.

We use this unit with an upholstery cleaner, but can be used for vitually any liquid.. Paint, degreasers, cleaners, urine!?

Yeah that one looks slightly less dodgy :D

Where do you get those ones from? How long do they last?

I went to Malz today, and they reckon they need the factory colour code to make a couple of spray cans. That being the case, can anyone tell me what colour this is? I'm assuming it's factory

theres also this: http://www.paintscratch.com/search.html which will give you the name from the code.

like others have said, get the code from your vin plate, take it to a paint wholesaler or similar and they can make a can up. i did the same for my Jim, useful having a can at the ready.
