Hey guys!
I've got the super rare 6p3 green on my new ragtop. I have to paint a couple of items like the Tom's lip, the Curren rear splitters, the OEM sideskirts, and my carbon fiber hood. After some searching and reading up on whatever forums I could find, it looks like the guys at touchupdirect.com usually do a good job at matching colors. If they don't have a perfect match, it looks like they work with customers to fix the issue. So I already ordered my paint. I'll let you guys know how it goes. If we can save the hundreds or thousands of dollars in paying a shop to respray a car by using a rattle can, it just might be worth it. Plus, I figure the green will be a harder color to match anyway. I'll let you guys know how it turns out! Gonna start small and go from there! |

I got mine from a local paint shop.
gave them the color and a few hours later, it's mixed and ready to spray. I have the same 6p3 green and painted my lip and sides as well. not sure about painting the hood with spray can but it's been done before. good luck with it. -------------------- ![]() *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
