RE: PAINT JOB

you're painting it yourself? id have it done professionally, and yea the metallic clear coat is where my flakes are. it is a stock color, atlantic blue metallic clear. it looks like a dark blue in shade and shines in the sun. i would just decode your vin # and find the paint color then have a paint/body shop take over from there.

RE: PAINT JOB

If you check out your sticker decal on the inside driver door, it lists the VIN number there, and a breakdown of the letters/numbers and what they are for.

Since when does a hardware store carry automobile paint that'll match anybody's car? Usually one has to go to the dealership or a paint shop because they have all the right paint codes or can color match what you want.
