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

Autobarn

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.

I'm not sure we have Autobarn's over here in WA... i'll check out Repco and see if they can help

Most Pep's Spares mix up spray cans

[Red89]

Malz

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.

lost for words with that Micro.. Dodgy and messy come to mind..

Spend a few bucks and get the PROPER piece of equipment for DIY cans..

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

[Microwire]

Yeah that one looks slightly less dodgy

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

Love it!

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

[Microwire]

Not sure, but I'd do it the same color as the one behind it I like!!

That is brilliant. Why have I never seen these DIY pepper spray canisters before??????

[zooky08]

Look at the plate above battery. It will tell you what color it is

[alien]

^^ what he said.

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

my guess is "OSH" - "Medium Quasar Blue Metallic Clearcoat"

get a compressor to pump up your tires and buy a spray gun (and some 342-1166 )

DIY spray cans! I'm loving it.... have an idea how to improve the spray nozel seal aswell....

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.
