Touch Up Paint

[RascalKing]

Hey, not sure if this should be here or Rides and Stylin' but this feels like the right spot.
My nose on my Hellrot E36 is a bit off colored from the rest of the body of my car, looks like it missed the cheap spray that the previous owner got done. It's all pretty beat up from road rash/daily driving rock chips etc etc.
It looks terrible bottom line.
My question is does anyone make a DIY Spray I can do at home or something like duplicolor of Hellrot? I've searched everywhere and cannot find what I need.

Thanks

So you want to paint the nose panel?
Before you do I must warn you red can be difficult to match.

If you want to do it the best way using spray cans, I suggest using 2K Urethane stuff.
Kinda expensive and extremely dangerous for your health if inhaled.

Go to the local body shop supplr astore, ask for urethane base coat in a can.
Then pick up the following items:


2K primer in a can, like this:

2K clear:

Good luck and don't forget to wear a decent respirator. Remember those 2K stuff have a pot life after a couple hours they start to activate so you gotta do it before then.

Would it be easier to just buy a new nose pannel for ~100 bucks?

damn dude i worked at finishmaster (auto paint store) 2 weeks ago. i would have hooked you up cheap as hell. but i got laid off.. i could see if one of my buddies could buy some paint and clear with his discount if you have or could get a spray gun.. they dont cary cans.

Hm, I have no access to a gun, thanks though.
Anything else?

Well looks like you have no options other left.

You can either have it professionally painted or you can remove the nose panel, sand it with 180, primer it and then paint it.
