Re: Factory paint???

Any automotive paint supply store should be able to mix it for you, some Sherwin Williams stores can as well. If you get in a pinch, the body shop at your local GM dealership should be able to as well.

Agree^^^^^^

HUMOR TIME.......

AND...If you want the "original quality" paint that was used on a lot of the Van Nuys cars, just go to the toy section of Wal-Mart and get some water colors and smear it on. It will last just as long!

Just being funny!
