Default Where to get paint for do-it-yourself painting?

I'm getting some new accessories for Christmas, and they come primed I believe, but I have to paint them myself. Where can I find a Windveil Blue paint at?

lol, im in the same boat as u.. lol Roush louvers and spoiler im looking forward 2... The girl i been datings aunt is the GM of a ford dealership and shes gonna hook me up w/ a deal on getting them painted for me..

i used to work for ford also but i couldnt stand the stuff they had me do... lol. i might become a dealer tho, the aunt asked me if i was interested.. lol


a body shop or dealer recommended body shop could get the paint for u and paint it for u if want..

on another thread i was reading they quoted a guy $900, (yes 900- thats no typo) to paint his quarter pannel (his wife *accidentally* backed into it). That $900 is for paint only- no install- not the part- just having it painted, so i think you'd be better off getting the paint from the dealer and doing it yourself... its not that hard just stay 8-12 inches away (depending on your sprayer... and for gods sake dont use spray paint) and go back and forth with light coats untill you get the color you want... and do NOT do it in cold weather, it will make the paint shrivel and dry with cracks and ridges and look horrible. Good luck to you.

wow $900 thats insane.
I would call the dealer and ask if he will sell you some paint. They mostly just subcontract painters too and i'm sure they know where to get it.

Okay, so I'll buy some paint from the dealer. You have an estimate how much that will cost? :O

a lot of shops will give a good paint job for much cheaper than 900, my girlfriend had her bumper painted for about 400, it was a pretty good job too, i cant tell that it was not factory painted
