spray paint for car
 
i just want to know where can i get some spray paint for my car
i have a couple of scratches i want to cover up
touch up paint will make it look like crap so im going the spray paint way

recommendations of a shop to get it from?

or is it better for me to bring it into a shop to get them to paint it for me?

easier to get shop to do it for you.

but, if you want to try to spray paint it yourself you maybe able to get small cans of duplicolor that matches your paint code to do it *not recommended as it is pretty complicated to prep the surface if you have no knowledge of automotive paints*

...on the other hand.. if you screw up, you can always take it to a shop for them to fix it haha.

so the question is, are you adventurous?

concept finishes on bridgeport rd in richmond will mix u paint in a can, touch up bottle, or in a spray bomb, but they only match to paint code not color match to what is on your car. hopefully it's not a 2-stage mix because that gets expensive and takes longer to do.

your better off touching it up, then lightly wetsand/polish it out. It will look a lot better then spraying over it.

Sorry dude...going to look like shit...how are you going to clear it?

No one paints their cars with spray cans...unless you got a rust bucket.
