Hey guys!

I've got the super rare 6p3 green on my new ragtop. I have to paint a couple of items like the Tom's lip, the Curren rear splitters, the OEM sideskirts, and my carbon fiber hood. After some searching and reading up on whatever forums I could find, it looks like the guys at touchupdirect.com usually do a good job at matching colors. If they don't have a perfect match, it looks like they work with customers to fix the issue. So I already ordered my paint. I'll let you guys know how it goes. If we can save the hundreds or thousands of dollars in paying a shop to respray a car by using a rattle can, it just might be worth it. Plus, I figure the green will be a harder color to match anyway.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out! Gonna start small and go from there!

haha. yup. I think it was like $20 for the can and that was enough to paint my lip and sides.
clear coat was more expensive.
