That looks great! Makes me want to smooth my stockers out just to color match them. Nice

Olympic White and an SEM 1K clear in a rattle can. But not Dupli-Color, it wasn't even close. I had an automotive paint supply shop mix a pint up for me, then used their little bottle sprayer. These sprayers are kinda cool, just pour the paint in and an aerosol top makes it like a spray can. 6 bucks for the sprayer thing. Still don't know why dupli-color was so far off, but they are at least refunding my money. Too bad they can't refund my extra painting and sanding time. and of course some crap got in the paint this time, whereas my first attempt was damn near perfect. oh well.

Good to know. It was 6 bucks with the paint? Or 6 for the sprayer thing? I got a hvlp spray gun I can use... but not sure what a place would charge to mix up some paint.

The sprayer was like 6 bucks. The can of clear was 20 bucks, so the pint of mixed paint was about 20-25 bucks. Expensive but i was not wanting to waste my time and money on non-matching AGAIN
