Anyone know if Ford sells small amounts of spray cans of touch up paint? I'm looking for dark blue for my Mustang, wanted to spray just a small part (cobra grille) and not do the whole car. Anyone know if I can buy small amounts of matching paint anywhere, a single spray can would more than suffice to match the rest of my 18yo paint.

There's a local autobody supply shop here, called Custom Aerosols.

It's $16 a can, and they'll mix up any color you want into an aerosol can. Makes painting little stuff so much easier.

Check your local store, they may be able to do soemthing similar.

If you have trouble matching - you can get a 'snapshot' where they custom mix the color.

Any auto paint store can mix paint based on color code. That's what they do for a living. I see you are in Alexandra. Total Auto parts in either Lorton or Springfield, I forget which, is a PPG supplier. They are not my favorite paint store but they are okay, and they will be able to put it in a spray can.
