Most paint places, such as automotivetouchup.com can make you custom rattle can's, but are about $20 buck's. I used a Preval to paint a steering column year's ago and turned out very good.

if you want a good outcome, you must do the prep work right. i don't care how well you can spray but if your prep work is bad, the outcome will be worst. take time to learn to prep correctly. you can do it yourself just read up on it. it can be very rewarding and can save you big. good luck.
