I've used automotivetouchup.com on several occasions on other vehicles. Their colors always match perfectly.
The website is very user friendly, and they usually ship out pretty quickly.
Their rattle cans aren't cheap, though ($24.00 each I believe) so you might just want to find a MAACO.
Search your area for auto body paint suppliers. We have a local CarQuest automotive store that is VERY well known for it's paint supply products. It has a few hot rod shops that buy all their products through them, so they have become known for that.FYI, I'm intending on using HVLP paint guns, no rattle cans, that's not cost effective. I am doing the full truck. Eastwood seems to have some competitive prices for their fantastic products. Imma keep shopping around. I thought of MACCO but honestly, I'm in deep enough now that I'd like to see this all through. Thanks everyone for the input.
When I was fixing some serious trail rash a few years back, I came up with some decent two-stage paint in rattle cans for around $24 or a little more per can. Excellent paint match, but don't recall the brand. Definitely want lots of good ventilation with it, you don't want to breathe that stuff.SNIP,...I used 6 rattle cans on my hood. Each flare I've done took a full can. No way around it though, automotive single-stage paint is expensive.
Nice. Do you have any experience painting cars?I bought a gallon of base, gallon of primer and a gallon of clear. Cha-ching...
