Automotive aerosol paint in PDX? Apologies if this has been asked

[butters]

Searched and couldn't find anything. Looking to spruce up my engine bay while the motor is out. Bob's Paint Land up in Vancouver will mix cans of paint $20/ea ($16/ea for multiple) but they close at 5:30 and I work down in Clackamas until 5-5:30ish. I'll use them as a last resort, but I wanted to see if there's any place more convenient or recommended in Portland.

Also, tips for painting the bay w/rattle can appreciated, I'm not sure how many cans I'd need but I'd probably get 2, and use what's left to paint my iS lip and dust the yellowing rear valence. Perhaps 3 is a better idea..

They can mix it, although I don't think all of them have the paint stoor in them, and a lot of them have closed down like the one by my house.

butters Me and wishno has used bobs a few times. love the service there

Does bobs mix it while you wait?

[Matt-B]

yes they do, takes a few min and you can watch them do it

[butters]

Is it catalyzed? I tried "Industrial Paint" in Portland but $40/can is a bit much to swallow

Sherwin Williams in Tualatin will mix it too. IIRC, it was a six can minimum.

I think the only Napa in the Portland inner area is St. john's (the Warehouse) but they are open til midnight.


Well, they used to be open that late, not sure if they are any more. If you want to go in on a couple can's I need to repaint some of my car (though mine is Alpine I) I can pick em up during the day since I work from home..

+3 on Bob's. Good service and it only takes a few minutes. Both Eric and I have used them with good results.

Steve - how much are you needing? I found my paint during my move this weekend and I'd be willing to send it your way considering my baby wont be needing new paint after I get him back

Dude are you SURE you want to rattle can it? I'd at least clean it thoroughly with wax/grease remover and scuff with 800 grit. Also it'll run like a mofo if it's not a minimum of 70-75 degrees when you spray it.
