If I need paint in an aerosol can there is an Auto paint store here in Fort Wayne, IN that I use. They will match the color or if you've got the paint code they will go that way. Minimum purchase is one quart of material plus one can of spray. You can bring the quart back anytime to get another can of spray. I believe one quart makes at least 2 spray cans.

Look around - got to be something like that in the Chicage area.

Just my $.02.

If you local dealer doesn't have it, you can order it from Ken Fichtner on-line:

Awesome thank you guys....paint will especially come in handy now because i received a die cast Z06 model car for my birthday that I have to put together somewhat. Its nice that its apart because now i can paint it to match mine without getting crazy on taping and what not. Thanks again guys for the help and links....just what i was looking for.
