    Zinno Match Paint

    Need to paint my Euro Valence to match my Zinno paint. Anyone done this? and does anyone know what the dealer charges for zinno paint?
    Another thing does kragen/autozone ...etc carry any paint that is close to it?

    Find a automotive paint shop/store. When i painted my front valance for my car it was $12 or $14 for a pint of burgundort single stage paint. If it has red in it or is red the paint is alittle more. The red may not be a perfect match cause red tends to fade over time, but since it's the front valance. It shouldn't be noticable.

      This also interests me. Someone whacked my hood, scraping to the bare metal. I need something that'll look ok.

        I would find a local paint shop. They will be able to supply you with it or they can paint the piece. I had somethings of mine painted and they had to be done twice because the first time they were painted only. The second time they were stipped, painted, baked...came out amazing and very little or no color difference. I was told that my IS valance was going to be around $100 to have it painted.

        Dealer is probably the wrong place to go for paint because of cost issues.

          I did my front and rear valences with zinno rattlecans from paintscratch.com, perfect match, I used their clear coat as well, 2 cans was more than enough to cover.

              I plan on ordering from paintscratch.com, although they seem a bit expensive.

              Any idea how many oz's. of spray paint to do an IS front air dam and a rear deck spoiler?

              Thanks.
