Need Alpine White II Paint - Any suggestions?

[Cloudbase]

I finally got my IS splitter. I want to repaint my front bumper and valence while I'm at it. Does anyone have any connections of getting some Alpine White II mixed up? SVT offered sample it and send it off to their paint supplier who I could pick it up directly from. They've done great work for me in the past. But I'd have to leave the bumper with them to get the most accurate sample. I could leave the gas cap too I guess. I'd rather go to a body shop that mixes themselves and not have to leave a car part for a long period of time. Any suggestions or connections?

Paint Scratch.com has AWII, but I've read that this isn't a perfect match. Anyone have any experience with them? I'm pretty sure the bumpers and valence aren't clear coated. In fact I think I read that AWII from the factory isn't clear coated. My car was resprayed with a clear coat. You think I should clear coat the bumper and valence?

Painters Supply, sante fe and hampden, took 30 min, mixed right there, will even do earosol cans, i accually have a 1/2 pint of alpine II left over, will make 2 cans pm me

The front splitter will never be a perfect match no matter what, and given the way the valences discolor over time, it really doesn't matter. Just buy the aerosol can and forget about it.

Sherwin-williams can make it up in to aerosol cans as well.

You should make the lip black.

I love that splitter. You think of everything, don't you?

There is also one in Fort Collins that I have been to, and made a very very good match for my bumper and fender. In an Aerosol can at that...

Yup, I painted the entire front end of a B5 S4 with aersol stuff from painters supply and it came out quite nicely.

I can paint worth a crap...

In fact, for a loooong time now I have been itching to build a paint booth, with Sam T (vectorsc or something) and more recently Ross. Painting cars makes me happy.

I am willing to set up my garage as a paint booth as long as its easily put up/down. My garage is only a 1 car so it would be a tight fit for an entire car (unless I removed my shelves from the walls), but for bits it could be awesome.

Want to respray my bumper/lip and fog blanks? I don't care how well it matches just as long as it is super thick with a super thick clear coat.

Edit, I mean valance and lip.

I am prepping a silver valence that is pretty much flawless to put on my car.

We could do a painting day at my place. I have an hvlp sprayer that works awesome too.

I am down for assistance on this.
