where to get color matched paint

So im doing my satoshi and the surround doesnt match my bsp truck. Anyone know where i can get like a half pint or so of bsp paint without paying an arm and a leg. Id prefer to buy the paint and spray(not rattle can) and paint myself because the auto body shops around want an arm and a leg to paint just my grille surround

 

bump, please i need to know and i cant find anything descent on the net. On another note has anyone painted anything on there truck and ordered colormatched paint, if so where from??

 

just find a local paint shop and have them mix it up for you, a pint will probably only be 20 bucks at most. Google PPG dealers in your area.

 

sorry but what is ppg, and just any old body shop should be able to do it. Im guessing all they need is the color code 209??

 

PPG is a brand of paint, see if you have a finishmasters in your area...they are a franchise paint dealer and you can have them mix it. If you have some large bodyshops in your area they can mix it also from your paint code if they are willing to sell it to you. Smaller shops might not have a mixing station.

 

Someone posted this link a few days ago... looks like they have all the stock colors...

thanks but ive been there, its expensive as hell or at least it is to me. over $50 for a half pint seems a bit ridiculous. ill check the local body shops. Any other ideas??

 

OUCH...they are expensive...80 dollars for a pint is outragous.

 

update there is a finishmasters in my area, anyone know approximately how expensive it will be for what im doing, or had any experience with them

 

Find a local Auto Paint Supplier. PPG I believe is a dealer/commercial only company so you will have difficulties with them. You local Sherwin Williams paint supplier can also point you in the right direction. You can also order it from Toyota. If you live in a fairly large town you shouldn't have to many problems. I went to my local Sherwin Williams Automotive Paint Dealer and got two quarts of BSP. I had one quart made into rattle cans. It didn't cost me to much.

PPG is just a brand...finishmasters carries them, as well as local paint shops will...all the paintshops in my city will sell to the public however there is a little bit more markup on the paint/supplies. Reason i know...i used to work for one.

 

just what i needed to know
