Yes, but you won't like it... I charge about $200 to respray a bumper cover, and $150 for the nose panel. It's a lot of work to get all the rock chips filled...

bump...

i plan on doing all of the sanding..and the work myself...i just need to find a place that sells the paint..

i really would prefer if it was in a spray can..but even in a quart jug or something would be great..

Thanks.

Try here, http://www.paintscratch.com/ or you can find an automotive paint distributor and have them color match a pint of basecoat for you. Then reduce and spray, then clearcoat... It will probably cost you close to $100 in materials. Or you could find a local shop that will spray it for you. Like I said I charge $200 to fix and paint covers.

there is a company locally by me that will go and match your paint with a little machine that I don't know what it is called.
Anyway, they will mix it up and put it into aerosol cans for you but as mentiuoned it is pretty expensive.

Worth it to go to a shop.
