Where might i get paint that matches the chrysler codes? I can use it in a spray can, or in a small amount that i can use my airbrush on.

I have a little project, something I plan to present to the JG community when I'm done :thumbsup:

automotivetouchup.com

i have bought numerous times from them, the color matches perfectly. they recently increased cost but it's still not too bad. I bought their clear and primer too.

Some auto paint supply places or body shops may be able to help you out as well.


I know my buddy has the machine or whatever it is to put paint in spray cans.


For air brush work you'd just buy a small quantity....depending on what their minimum is.

im not sure where you are heading, but when i want something painted the body color, Daniel does it with OEM quality paint in a paint booth with clear. his computer paint system matches any paint code.


you are never matching his quality with an airbrush in your garage. and to be honest, as many can atest to, his prices are DIRT cheap!

I wasn't saying you would do that, sorry if it came across that way.

All good bro, i got ya tho. i wouldnt try to do anything that requires a professional spray booth. i'm just into being artistic and comming up with alternatives to the 'popular' mods.

The paint code is on the door sticker. I got my paint mixed at a local auto parts store (not the chains but the good local stores) and they put it in a spray can for $20. Matched perfect, actually need to get more.

it will be impossible to match PRJ through automotivetouchup.com.....PRJ is a tristage. But i have bought probably 5-6 cans from them. its great quality and pretty close
