6G Celicas Forums

I'm looking to paint my splitters and want to know where's the best place to get a can of factory spray paint for my silver 98 GT!

no.

BUT you can goto advanced auto and they'll help you pick the "closest" color But i wouldn't recommend it. (better to roll black and black#2 than black and white though)

yes there is, there is plenty of company that does this.

I recommend this one.

X2.
your best bet is to go to your local autobody supply shop ( not autozone or whatever) and ask if they can make spray cans.
most good ones can without a problem.
you will have to 2 stage it ( meaning basecoat, then clearcoat seperately.)

What kind of clear would you suggest from a spray can Pressure. I got the color pretty close using '06 Corolla balck/blue pearl so all I need is the clear.
Also tips for applying the clear?

Thanks for the helpful responses! Anyone know the name/code for a 98 Silver celica?

Toyota Paint code 199

www.paintscratch.com is good also.

i ordered my toyota super white 040 from here. it was great i recommend this place.

Anybody?

most local places 'round here carry transstar stuff, its ok stuff, i mean of course spraying PPG clear out of a 600$ gun and spraying out of a can will never look exctly the same, but it does work well if you can apply it evenly.

best thing i can say about applying clear is practice.
do a few test panels first, just to see how heavy you can apply it before it runs ect.
a bit of practice, a smooth hand, and some paitence and you can get great results out of a spray can.

Any local autobody paint supplier should be able to mix up custom cans for you of real paint matched to your color code. Normally, it costs me roughly about $40 to have one can of paint plus enough left over in a can to make another can or two. Just ask the shop what they recommend for the 2 stage base coat clear coat. Shops will vary because not everyone carries every brand of paint. Your paint code should also be on the ID badge of your car. To avoid confusion, I either drive the vehicle in question to the paint store and let THEM look at the badge and get the code, or I take a picture of it on the digital camera and just bring the camera to the shop.
