Paint Question
What are you painting? And yes you need to clear coat it I believe if you get the dupli color can. We sprayed my dads Shorty antenna with duplicolor. Didnt turn out exactly the same color as factory, but very very very close.
I have a couple things I would like to paint.....my gauge bezel (currently factory black) and try to bake and paint my headlight bezels. Both I want to paint the same as my exterior color.
Yea, Dupli-color has exact paint code matches in a spray can, it's a good bit higher cost than the normal stuff on the shelf, but any auto parts store can order and have it in a day or two.
I stripped down & sandblasted a grill guard for a buddy last year, we decided to re-paint the thing color match and Autozone ordered us four cans, his exact GM Metallic Pewter, had it the next day, I think it was like $10 a can...

what color do you have?
Here is a nice list of Mopar paints - http://www.athlondave.ca/mopar/showall.php
The Mopar stuff is a 5oz can, lists for 9.70. It does a great job, but definitely needs clear coated after.
Duplicolor stuff is ....... ok. Their clear coat sucks. Stay away. If you want the absolute BEST clear coat in a can? Get some Spray Max 2K clear coat. Its an activated clear - so it only has a pot time of 24 hours, but DAMN it does a GREAT job.
mopar flame red painted bezels (mopar spray, 2k clear)

Sunburst orange, before clear (using Mopar's paint)

after clear
