I would go to a shop and ahve them mix you some, it has to be colormatched. Go to Crash1 on perrryville right by the olds/subaru/porsche dealership, they are really good guys down there.

That sucks. I am happy I have been luck with buying things on this board.

Paint is cheap. I would not think you would more then a pint. Should not be more then 30-50 bucks at most.

I have been thinking of buying a paint gun at work and close off part of my shop to try and paint a wing. I just wish I could find a dirt cheap wing so if I screw up the painting I an not out a lot of cash.

For a hole car you need a lot of stuff. Biggest thing is a dust free down draft paint booth. You do not want any dust getting into the paint. Also some heat lamps to help warm the room for the paint to bake on.

When I do the wing I am going to close off a section in my shop and make sure it is hospital clean. Then at work I am going to pick up a good gravity feed gun and go from there. I will get a cheap gun for the primer. Some say that you should get a primer gun and a finsih gun seperate.

It will cost a lot for all the stuff. The only reason I am looking to paint a wing myself is because I have a Model A in the shop that I am redoing and I have the body all apart so I can paint is in small parts. Plus if I screw it up it will not be to bad because from the factory there were runs in the paint.
