Paint code spray paint????

Hey guys is there a such thing as getting your paint code in a spray can, i was wondering this because instead of having your whole bumper repainted, can you use spray paint to touch up little spots if you needed to?

yes, this is possible.

i did it with my VII wing and with my old ralliart grille. got clearcoat, too. check out my cardomain for how it all turned out--pretty well i think.

just look for a paint shop, conveniently the one here in town for me is actually called custom aerosols, haha.

you painted your evo wing with spray paint with your code? wow! im gonna check that out, how much did it run you and was it time consuming? and did it match u with the rest of your car? my paint is a pearl white so its might be hard to match it.

I looked into this also for painting my grill. I didn't end up doing it cuz I have the pearlescent paint....so I would have to buy one can of each of these:

1. OEM White Paint
2. Pearlescent clearcoat
3. Normal clearcoat

I figured it wasn't really worth it to me.

But, I know there are some places that will mix it all in for you so you don't have to buy 3 cans

Maaco can do this, actually. But honestly, any paint shop should do this for you. Just ask around.
