Autozone has some automotive spray pant and primer. Do you think that'd work?

white is easier to rattlecan and make look good than any other color in my experience. Id do it.

yea i would do it that way its the easiest color for that because you dont really have to many shades to choose from if you were real picky you can order paint from an internet site or possibly your local stealership that is the identical color used origanally... there is a code on your tag that is under your hood the same one that tells you about your rear and such and there is a 3 letter paint color code..... but im sure what they have at autozone will work just take your time and be careful and the end result should be very pleasing.... even wall mart has paint!

if your gonna paint it right before you sell it, make sure you match it. like these guys are sayin white might be easy to match, but heres a picture of what my trucks previous owner ended up with when he thought he had matched the paint.

definately, match it to the proper code. I ment white is easiest to match with your old paint in an aplication sense, you still have to match it proper.

the paint on my roof is chipping really badly as well. i looked up the paint code & got a bodyshop to fill me up a bigspray can of my paint code for around $10. it matches my factory paint perfectly.
