    Brilliantrot Paint

    What color can I get at the local paint places that is close to brilliantrot? Paintscratch.com is $25 PER spray can (12.5oz) and $80 PER pint (16oz) and I dont wanna pay that much for paint. So... what is something close? Or whats a paint code that is close to that, that the local places could mix up?

    Just get the paint code off of the sticker on the front strut housing, and any professional automotive paint shop should be able to mix it up for you.

      You can also go to a PPG car place and buy this little reservior that is mounted underneath a pressurized spray can, That way, you can put any paint in the reservior, screw it to the bottom of the spray can and use it as spray paint. It's only like $15 for the can and reservior. You'd need to get extra pressurized cans if you're going to be doing alot of spraying.

      Of course, I'm assuming you dont' have a compressor.

        REDs are VERY expensive colors due to the pigments used.

          Is it the 308/x number? Or the longer one?

              I picked up brilliant red from a local shop during the summer
              $20+/- per rattle can

              The Aersol was the expensive part

                  So what kind of paint did you buy, and how did it turn out?

                    i picked some up for 25 bux a pint, and they will fill an aerosol can up for you for 6 bux a pop each time using the paint you bought. not too bad.
