Rather than rattle can, have it done right. As far as I know, the blue is a two stage so in addition to getting the metallic sprayed well from a can, it will need to be clear coated and polished. Likely there will be a color match issue.

Without the actual 'WA' paint code...I would guess it is a two-stage. I have stopped a LONG time ago by going by a name of what GM calls the color due to many have the same name but are different paint formulas. Regardless if it is a new painter old paint color

Depending on what the parts are made out of will depend if using BULLDOG is the best way to do it or not. I use BULLDOG ADHESION PROMOTER ...BUT...I do not use it for everything....but that is just me and others may use it for everything....which I know on the can it says that it can be used for just about everything.

I agree with Dave. Using a rattle can mix may work...and then again it may not. I would advise you testing it first BEFORE you go and paint everything and find out that the color is not even close.

Unfortunately...by using an aerosol can ...you can not adjust air pressure and fluid volume in order to dial in the color and make it match...and not to mention the correct reducer/thinner for the air temperatures your are shooting at....which can also make a difference.
