Most paint dealers can put any paint into a spray can. Out here it's about $20.00 (Canadian) per can. If I were you I'd lightly sand (1000 grit) - prime and paint it ... It may peel but the odds are against it ... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 | They sell fillable spray cans. You fill them yourself. Under $10

and if your going to prime it use 320 than clean it with a paint prep. prime than wet sand 600 than clean it again than spray. do lite coats with 10min intervals

If it's a 60-66, it's right. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 41 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 41 | Flat dark gray was also used on 57-59 to reduce glare off of the dash. Jim Carter carries the paint. | | |
