Paint Matching

[GriffinW]

Hey everyone, I just picked up a new bumper for my S13 and need to paint it. My car is the factory burgandy color and I was wondering if anyone knew a brand of spray paint that offers factory colors. I just want to get as close as possible to the paint I have now, which I know is next to impossible since its faded. If anyone has tried to match the burgandy color let me know what you used.

Whatever you do, Dont use EBAY shit.
My car turned out pink, when it was stated the Cherry red metallic (burgundy color)

I would use dupont or something..go to your paint dealer and you should be golden..

Stock code = AH3 Cherry red Pearl

yeah duplicolor has an online catalog, look on ur vin plate under ur hood and get the color code, go to duplicolor.com and look for the code and get it, best way to do it is through the code not the name

werd.. are you gonna get single or base/clear?

some shops want like $300+ to paint a single damn bumper.

Kyle should be able to paint it for ya...

Yea he sent me a PM about it. I think Im just going to rattle can it for now. Two coats red one coat clear until I decide to paint the entire car. Plus I have a QP to fix which im not too sure how to do.

You can go to some NAPA's, and they will mix up the paint for you, just tell them how many cans, and how much you want it aged.
