Default Need help with Paint ASAP.

Ok well i've had a ****ty paint area on my bed that some guy tried to repair a ding and just messed everything up. Looks so ****ty I can't even explain. I have some expirence with paining and buffing. Does autozone or pepboys sell a automotive paint that would match the brilliant black. I have a 2003. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect but just enough to look good. I would sand, primer, paint and clear, then sand and buff. I've seen spray paint with a factory color but I dont know if they sell it for a dodge color code. I just need to know ASAP so I can do it tomorow. The main reason is because I just tinted my tails pretty much black and buffed everything out and my new black wheels arrive tuesday so I need my truck in MINT condition so I can get a few pictures.

I don't think the black from duplicolor will match, you have the same paint as I do. When I painted my headlights I went to a local body shop and they got my paint code, and gave me some paint to match. That's probably the best route imo.

Did they give you a spray can or was it paint that you had to spray with the gun?

If you want it to look good, hold off on the pics and get the paint code. I mean, if you do get a spray can its gonna be pretty noticable to those who can spot those kinda things.

Can i get that mopar paint from the dealer or some where else? How about clear. I was planning on just sanding with 1000 grit then paint, then clear, then sand with 1500 then 2000 then polish.
