    Anyone found a Brilliantrot rattle can color match?

    Not talking paintscratch or those other places. I mean off the shelf $6 rattle cans. I have a small area that's not real visible so I don't care if it's perfect but I don't want to spend the $50+ for paintscratch touch up paint. So just wondering if anyone has found a color that matches pretty closely.
    Thanks
    Nick

    Try Rustoleum Sunrise Red - my valence and lip are this color and it matches up very well. Unless its in perfect light and I tell you, it isn't noticeable.
    1990 325is - sterling silver, very nice, maybe for sale

      That's what I was hoping to hear! My valance is pretty beat and after wetsanding and polishing my car doesn't match anyways. Thanks man :up:

        Had to update here; after trying a few trial shots of Sunrise Red over various primers (etch-green, gray, brick), none were quote "orange" enough to my eye...: So, after having primed the offending panels, I shot a first coat of Rustoleum Orange, followed by three coats of Sunrise Red - - and everyone that sees the e30 assumes a pro color-match! Caveat; this stuff takes *f o r e v e r* to cure, so be patient with it!

          Just go to a auto paint shop, they can mix you up some in a rattle can to match what the stock color code contains.
          They charge around $19-22 for a can thats around 10 oz.
          I got half a pint for like $8 mixed up at my local one to do touch up for chips with a paint brush.
