Question paint question for blue 02 lancer

does anyone know what brand of spray paint best matches the T38 Blue 02 ES? i want to paint my grille and eyelids but i cant find any paint with the paint code T38 anywere except on paintscratch.com. i went to Ace today to look at some Krylon's, but their paint code for the blue was 1901 or something, and i wasn't sure if it would match the blue or not...help!

You should be able to order the color match paint from your Mitsu Dealer in a spray can. I know other auto manufacturers offer it, I could be wrong about Mitsu though.

your only other option is to have a bodyshop do a color match mix and paint them for you... A spray can from the dealer would cost much less!

Just do what I did and go to www.paintscratch.com and order the kit of flexible primer, flexible paint, flexible clearcoat, and rubbing compound. It is enough to paint all those parts and it will come out show quality. Its about as cheap as ur gonna get for the quality look you will get when its done. Order it in the spray cans. I just priced out everything you needed and it comes to 60 dollars for everything. That is a very good price considering it is "real" automotive paint.

ohh come on. If they have these shops out here in the midwest, they must have them out in Cali. There are paint shops here that you can just go to and they have binder after binder of OEM paint codes and finishes. You pick yours out and like $12 bucks and 10 minutes later you have a spray can of your color paint.
