I've never actually used their stuff but they came highly recommended.

Many automotive paint stores will mix up a color, and put it in a spray can. You might check with your local one. It won't be $4.95 a can though...

I got my torch red from NAPA Auto parts, dupli color. They did not have it in stock but ordered it for me and had the next day.

If you want to take a short roadtrip, Final Finish, 1510 9th St. W. Bradenton, Florida, makes spray cans both exterior and interior. (Interior paint nees a piece to be matched to), These are large (16oz) cans, for about $17.00. Phone # is (941)748-3912

I've placed several orders with these guys for different cars and the paint has always been a perfect match.

Thanks! I had posted an earlier thread about matching up some mod/torch red speaker grills for a planned interior upgrade and asked a similar question about where to buy. The response was nothing but crickets....

...and these guys are local!

I did the same. I had to replace my front license plate cover. I used primer, base coat & clear coat. Good match!

Where is the paint code on the C7? Are there any websites that will give you the paint code based on your VIN or do you need to get it directly off the car?
