I have factory 14 inch rims which I spray painted years ago. It matches the cars color.

However, that was a local paint shop and I have now moved across the country.

I want to upgrade to 15" steel rims with poverty caps and spray paint them to match again.

Where are you guys ordering spray paint online for this sort of project?

Thanks!

Some auto body places can put paint into an aerosol can for you so if there are paint places near where you are at that may be an option.

For painting smaller parts I typically paint them with good paint and a disposable Preval sprayer from Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc.

Thanks for the input. The current rims were painted with aerosol from a shop that provided that for me. It worked great, but now I am 2400 miles from that shop and I am still learning the area....especially automotive stuff. I may have to start looking around, but I didn't know if anyone used an online source and just had it mailed to them? Thanks for the heads up. up

I've used Tower paint via mailorder/on line for many years, factory paint matches, custom applications etc, very reasonable, very affordable

If your talking rattle can paint in factory colors, try Totally Auto. They have a nice selection of different colors.

There is a local paint store here that will put factory colors in rattle cans for you at reasonable prices. Just give them the paint code and and come back the next day. Call around to local paint shops.

I've used them also. Basecoat in one can, clear in another.

I agree. I had this done in order to paint my cage B5 to match the car. I didn't want to be dragging the air hose around inside the car messing up the paint job as I went. Came out awesome in my opinion.
