? for painters black color issue Options

[bdog_v]

Hello I have a 94 celica GT it is black in color. My problem is that I bought some sideskirts that I painted "dupont pitch black" enamel paint. I sprayed them with my compressor. They are considserabley darker and shinier than my celica. I don't like it at all. I love duponts pitch black color I have painted two other cars that color black it is as deep and shiny as any black I have ever seen. But the gloss black on my celica isn't that dark. I know my car was repainted by someone before I bought it as it was in an accident. I know it is not a clearcoat paint I believe it to be another type of enamel paint. My question is:

-Is there somewhere on my vehicle I can find the paint code.




-Where can one go and buy paints that match factory colors?



-Also did the celica come wth a clearcoat back in 1994 or was it a plain old enamel paint. Anyone ever had this problem with black????? THankss....

there is a sticker somewhere that'll show the code. (i think it's in the door, but i'm not 100% on that. I'm probably wrong) i've not looked for it yet.

also, remember that your paint is years old. It could have faded from it's original glory.
