I'm hoping to find a company that offers T7 Bronze in a single-stage enamel spray can. I know Totally Auto offers original paint colors, but (and here's the stupid part!) It's only available as a 2-stage base/clear system. The reason that is stupid is because (A) It's not going to be usable with any original paint car and (B) If you DID have a 2stage paint job on your car, then chances are very high that you could just go back to the original supplier of that paint to get your 2-stage fix.

So: Who sells original color single stage enamel in rattle-cans?

When I bought the single stage for my son's 73 Plymouth, the local auto paint supplier said they can either tint some single stage in a spray can or could even mix the gallon and pull some out to put in a rattle can.

So if you havent bought your paint already that may be an option.

Thanks Bohmer, but I have an original paint car (1969 GTX) and I recently had the trunk floor replaced... just the center section. The "wings" are intact, and I would like to spray the center, overspraying & feathering out onto the wings (side pieces) a bit.

Any auto body supply shop can mix you single stage in a spray can, usually for less than $20

I've NEVER seen an area that large done with a spray bomb that didn't look like it was done with a spray bomb - regardless of the make of the product. And overspraying to "blend" just won't work - you'll end up with what looks like exactly that - overspray!

If it were me I'd get a pint of single stage and shoot it with a touch up gun - even a cheap one will do - refilling the cup a few times if need be. Doing it this way it will have a slower drying time and you can maintain a "wet edge" on the large surface. Also, I would mask the area with a "soft edge" at the seams. When you're done the repair it would be virtually undetectable except for it being new paint.
