#18727, "painting center taillight Q's"




          

How much paint does it take to paint the center taillight piece? Should I get a couple bottles of touchup paint from satan, or can I find the same color as my car at an auto parts store? What I'm planning on doing is wet sanding the tailpiece, and putting 2-3 coats depending on how it comes out, then clear coat it. Anyone got any suggestions/comments? thanks

Go to a paint store and tell them your color code and they can make a spray paint can for ya. $20 or less.

Paint store....a place where you buy paint to paint your house or car. A body shop would probably do it but Im not sure if they would be as cheap.
