How hard is it the color match the paint? I have seen some eyelids on ebay that come primed and I was wondering how hard it would be to match with my black paint.

 

not hard for regular black paint but u have an 06 which is like a metallic sparkle black or something. you can get an exact match one some websites it was like 25per can

 

it usually takes a good 3 yrs of sunbaking to get a noticable fade. that being said, just get a small spray can of the factory color (pretty sure its px9 for the black). I dont think you have to worry about color matching

 

Early model black is super easy to match. As you get newer (like your truck) they added something to the paint that makes it harder to match. Just buy yourself a can of color match to the factory color and test it on something before you start painting on your truck.

 

Ok that is cool, is the best place to get it at the stealership? Or is it cheaper to do a website like silver said??

 

I think there was an episode of Trucks! a while back that featured this. However, that application was for much larger surface than a set of eyelids. It's worth a shot to look it up, it may be of help.

 

dealer only sells 5oz bottles for 15 try automotivetouchupaint.com i think its 25 for a regular 11oz can

 

I have the inferno red and just took mine to get painted by a body shop for $60

 

Thanks silver I will take a look there

 

you can get the factory color spray cans from the dealer for about $13 each....i've paid less but last time i bought a couple cans it cost me 13 each....should only have to buy 1 can to do your eyelids tho plus a can of clear coat from an auto parts store
