Default Anyone know where to...

buy factory paint? In like, pint/quart sizes? I'm gonna need some for my roll pan when it finally decides to come in....

And I realllllllllly don't wanna buy it from the dealership, too expensive that way...

So if anyone can help a brotha out, it'd be greatly appreciated!!! :-)

Yeah, but if I were you, you're going to want to have the rollpan matched. I'd let the local guys paint it and have them match the paint, otherwise, it could be off a shade.

A good body shop can probably paint match it.

its gonna cost a little more then 100.00 if the pan is a urethane base mold then they have to mix in a flex agent into the paint. what this does is prevents the paint from cracking do to extreme expansine and contraction do to the weather elements. my splash guards were 75.00 to get done. and the roll pan has more area to cover.
