Spray can of Tacoma paint in Canada...??

Does anyone know where I can find a coupla cans of Inferno (4X0) paint in Canada..????

I've tried Dupli-Color's web site... seems they only have the scratch pens....! I've sent them an e-mail and no response...!

Automotive Touchup, in the States has some,( https://www.automotivetouchup.com/cgi-bin/view1.aspx)....but very expensive to ship to Canada...!!

Other sites will not ship to Canada...

Any Canucks done this yet..??

Please share your source.....

Thanx..

Over

 

Depending on your plans and your pocketbook, you could get a paint shop to mix you up a small batch and then purchase an airbrush and small compressor from a hobby shop. It's a little expensive to go this way, but the airbrush/compressor is reusable, can of paint isn't.

Anyway, just a thought.

 

there are paint stores that can mix up your color recipe and put it in a spray can....not sure if that exists in canada..

 

What type of paint should I ask for? Was thinking of painting some stuff in quicksand and already have an airbrush & compressor

 

^^ This ^^ Go to just about any automotive paint store and they should be able to do this for you.

 

How do you plan to clear coat it?

 

this

 

Good question.... Once I find the paint, that's my next problem, eh..?

 

Are you repairing paint now or painting something to match?

 

Thinking of doing the grill

 

Oh you're trying to color match the grille?Probably worth mocking it up in photoshop first to see if you even like it? I could see it being a bit "too much."

If that's the case you could probably use like Krylon clear coat cans. Just be very careful I've had it "wrinkle" up on me really bad several times.

 

Yeah, I hear you... I'm planning on "derping" the grill except for the cross bars and around the Toyota emblem....(that goes inferno)

The "grey chrome" will be derped and the rest will be inferno... I've seen a lot on here do that.... I like the look.

 

I used plastidip...

It was horrible.

 

Did you plasti dip the inferno color or just the black.?

 

Black plastidip. Getting the shit off was a nightmare.

 

Oh. Dog, that looks bad ....!!

Were you able to clean that up..?

 

For clear, probably the best you can do in a can is a 2 stage like this:

$20 USC SprayMax 2K Glamour High Gloss Aerosol Clear

Just be sure you wear a respirator for it that is rated for paint, like this:

$30 3M P95 Respirator, Half Face, Disposable, Spray Painting, Pesticides, Construction, 53P71, Large Size

http://www.amazon.com/3M-07193-Paint-Spray-Resp/dp/B00079FOK0/

After applying the clear you can wet sand to make it perfectly smooth if it doesn't quiet settle right, and then polishing compound + buffing pad (something like a DA or circular polisher works). If you prep it right and the temp/humidity is within the recommended tolerances then you shouldn't have to do this, but you can't control the weather so sometimes mother nature fucks you up ...

 

Thanx.... good ideas..!

 

Just go to any body shop, they have the paint colour codes to match, or can get them.

 

It was horrible.

I ended up cutting it out and doing a custom car grills install.
