Side Skirt and Bumper Paint

bucketdvr · January 17th, 2009, 11:50 AM

So a new mod has allocated me a couple new side skirts and a new bumper- I have a friend at work who does paint on the side and is willing to get it done within the next few weeks- I'd rather buy the paint myself than have him go searching for it- but I'm having a hard time finding the standard black gloss for my 2008. My code is UA... but I'm unsure of where to go for it online. I AM thinking about just leaving it up to the professional (he's gone to school for it) but I'd like to save him the hassle and maybe get my labor price reduced a bit for the courtesy.
Has anyone repainted parts for their black S197?

The easiest way would be to go to a local automotive paint supplier in your area if you have one. I know alot of oriellys carry dupont paint and if they dont they can get it shipped to their store from another one in a couple days. Ive never bought paint online, ive always mixed my own or used my local paint jobber, so i cant help you out with a site, sorry bud. Also if you have a bodyshop in your area that has their own mixing bank they might be willing to sell you some.

Get it locally from an automotive paint store, sheriwin williams automotive, ppg, dupont, nason, standox, etc just to name a few. Theres probably one of the bunch somewhere around you. Id also talk to the guy doing the work about what kind of paint he wants to use. Everyone prefers a certian paint but if I was doing a similar job and the guy said hed get the paint and brought some kind of cheap internet brand stuff I would refuse to use it. For one warranty, two who knows how long the stuff is going to last, and three it probably wouldnt cover and/or match for shit. All of which can be turned around against the person doing the work when dealing with a customer that believes paint is paint.
