Hey guys,
I do not need a whole lot of paint just enough to paint headlight splitters. However my car is satin silver with code TL and duplicolor does not make the exact color. I know I can order online but I have heard of people going to auto shops and having them match the color and create it in aerosol can. How much should this cost? If I order the product offline it will be 25 dollars not including shipping. Therefore I want to try to just pick it up locally and not wait for it to be shipped. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hey, I oder it from Microfinish LLC out of New Orleans. They are under Automotive touchup.com
Only took 3 days for the shipment. Each can was $19.95 also order the Aerosol high gloss clear coat for $8.00. I have a 06 Windville blue and it was match perfect.

I got a paint match can from my local O'Rielly's perfect match. It was $23 but I did have to wait a day.

Nice, I try AutoZone and Advance and both could not help me, so I turn to the web. Did not even try O'Riellys and they are only 8 miles away. Thanks for infor.

Sorry to threadjack,
but what's involved in painting these yourself? how well does it turn out?

Well you sand the plastic piece and otherwise prep it, get some sort of paint booth set up (try to keep out dust and other particles). You can make one out of plastic sheets and wood. Then spray a few layers of base coat, then a few of the clear, then wetsand and spray more clear, then wetsand again, polish it out until shiny, and remember not to wax the painted things for atleast 2 months.
