Best place to purchase OEM paint

[Spatakula]

Is there a site I can order it from or would I have to stop at a dealer and order it?

Re: Best place to purchase OEM paint

dealers are usually only going to get you small touch-up bottles of it. If that's what you are looking for that great.

Otherwise, find local body-shop supply places around you. Most tend to carry specific brands of paint so you first need to know what the OEM paint on your car is. For example, around me I know the PPG paint supply places and the DuPont paint supply places. The thing in these suppliers don't usually deal with "consumers" and don't want usually want to mix and sell you a small pint of paint, they are set up to sell to body shops who are usually buying in at least gallon sizes of the paints, clear coats, etc.

I have touch up pain but I need alot of paint because it is going to be used to spray a smoothed radiator support.

I have SOME Sonic Blue (Paint Code S1) paint from when I repainted my bumpers, but I got it from a friends shop back when I lived in Pennsylvania. Now I live in a new state and dont have the hookups. lol. I just was not sure if there was a place that I could order from online...

The paint and body supply store that I shop at can mix and make any color automotive paint into a paint pen or spray can.

The local PPG store around me does the same thing

The DuPont supply store around me I'm not sure of but they are also the store that prefers not to deal with smaller quantities for "consumers". On the other hand, it's the DuPont supply store that carries Megs and has great prices on the product so I can't complain too much
