Mopar paint colors in a spray can ?

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I have a 70 coronet beater that I was wanting to paint the rims body color (F8). I don't want to spend a bunch of cash on paint, thinner, etc & go thru the hassle of using a paint gun. I was hoping someone sold paint in an areosol can. Anything like this on the market ?

totally auto sells it in a can and it matched very well, only problem there prices just went up to almost 20.00 a can plus shipping so around 27.00 - 30.00 ??? they are not a cheap alternative anymore. also any reputable paint store can put your color in a can for probably around the same price and you dont have to wait. I loved totally auto but they are too $$$$ much now.

How are they "Too much money Now"? Because they are Now pricing there items "around the Same price" as a local automotive paint store?

I don't get the logic of that statement.

It's the Love ya, but what have you done for me lately mentallity.

Wow... i was just about to ask this question. No way in hell i could spend $20 on a spray bomb, or more. That'd be well over $30 by the time i got it here. I think i'd rather just find something close and pay $5 for it. I did that when i needed some FE5 red for my Challenger wheels found something called 'Fire Red' and it was close enough.

I was told i could get actual Mopar colors put into bombs here too, though i heard it wasn't nearly that expensive. I should check it out.

Totally Auto's paint is accually automotive grade paint. It is NOT a cheap "spray can" paint. THey just put the higher quality paint in a spray can.

My local paint store will sell mixed colors in a large spray can for $12. I would check you local supplier.

THose paints will be single stage correct? Can you spray a single stange paint ontop of the clear coat of a 2 stage paint?

My local auto body supply stores will sell either single stage or base coat in a spray can. This is the exact same paint you would buy to mix and spray yourself with a compressor, if you wanted to. I have many times, bought the base coat in a can, sprayed it on, and then bought the two part clear in a can to go over it and have achieved professional results. You are probably wondering how you can buy 2 part clear in a can. Google Spray-Max 2K Clear, and you will see that on the bottom of the can there is a button that activates one of the 2 parts, and then it mixes in the can and you have 24 to 36 hours to use it. You can buy this two part clear in a can online from R & E paint supply, but many local paint stores also carry it. One precaution....the two part clear contains isocyanates, so use proper protection when painting with it.

Thank you to everyone for your input. I am gonna check out my local paint supplier this week and see what they can do.

I read a few replies when I asked about Totally Auto's spray cans. Some mentioned they had problems and the paint would not come out good. I went ahead and tried it, would not recommend to anyone!

Followed all directions, repeatedly shaking. The paint would only work for about 1/2 the can then clogged.

Try somewhere else.

I have 6 cans of paint from them and not ONE has sprayed any paint for me to find out how good the color matched. I need to call them this week and see if something can be done.
