sbornitz Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Have a couple small parts I want to paint to match the factory paint, is this possible in a rattle can? Not sure where but I know many people have found GO to paint the strut tower brace so it must be out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLap Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 PM Grabber, he may be able to help you on this. +1 - he referred my to a local paint shop in his area and they did a great job. I had 4 spray cans of Vista Blue paint in a week. Work very well have already painted the ST brace to match and the match is pretty spot on...I'd give you the info myself - but don't have the shop's contact info handy. Be sure and mention that Rob sent you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildthing530000 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 in my area i have 2 paint supply stores called baps that will put your factory paint in a spray can. i also bought it off of e-bay ,you just give them your paint code and they send you the cans. both matched my paint very well.

Grabber Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have refered several members to my local paint store. They have all the formulas for the Ford paint and a computer measures it up and they put it in a can and add the clear to it. It is a single stage paint with the clear allready in it. I bought 0ne can for $20 bucks and painted my Tower Strut and steeda hood prop brackets. They will mail you the paint if you ask them to. You will have to pay a small shipping charge. When you call them, have your paint code ready. If you paint some parts like I did...be sure to scuff them with a sanding pad and clean and primer them. I did 3 coats on my Tower Strut. Here is a link to the store in Vancouver WA with all the info on contacting them. http://www.bobspaintland.com/contactus.html Here is the red primer that I used...they sell it too. Here is a photo of them after I rattle can painted them in my shop loft. And here is a couple photos of my painted tower strut and hood brackets.

Grabber Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Wow your area looks confusing? I can just imagine asking for directions ... "...yeah turn right on 99th, then a left on 106th, then go straight to 95th, right on 98th, up the street to 110th then hang a left on 91st... You just need a Nav system. When I win the lottery, I'll get you one. Promice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlovegun Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 That looks great Grabber. I ended up finding a local store and sprayed my strut tower brace alloy. This morning with my handy laser level I painted the satin silver stripes on the brace too, looks awesome, I'll post some pice later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber, is the s/c heat bothering your painted strut brace? Snoop...the direction thing is funny. There is a place in Indianapolis, and I called them to ask for directions. She said "go east on west street, then turn north on south street". :huh: I'm serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like I'm supposed to know. Now back to the regularly scheduled topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
