Where can I have my grill painted? or any place online that I can buy the paint? 18L
I picked up a Orciari grill and was wondering where about I could have it painted and how much would something like this cost? or is there a place online where I can get the paint online? I've googled it and searched and found nothing except for paints that arent JBP.
Need Java Black pearl 18L Also wondering how much would it cost to have my sideskirts painted as well, thanks.

Many places can mix rattle cans to your paint code and the results can be great, especially for parts like side skirts and grills. Local paint shops should be able to refer you in the right direction. Or you could try online like http://paintscratch.com/

Thanks, does anybody have any experience with using Java black metallic 18L does it match well with the OEM java black pearl? How many spray cans would it take for my grill and both sideskirts?

Any CarQuest can mix paint for you. I had some mixed to paint some eyelids and mirror skins and the match is perfect. Right down to the metallic flake in the paint. I was actually really amazed and impressed at how well it came out.

i would get two cans for your job, i painted my grill on my subie, and the side skirts on my integra, as long as you prep everything and take your time you will be fine. its alot easier and alot cheaper to do it yourself and the outcome is usually good as long as you take your time

yea d&g can usually match the paint pretty close, for 14 bucks you cant really go wrong unless you have a light color. black is easier to make blend in

What do you guys think? There are some minor imperfections but I'm happy with the result. Definately used alot more paint than I thought I was going to.
I am not really a fan of the pink i badge but my blue badge cracked and wanted to throw something on to see how it looks all together. Might order a blue i badge, what do you think? |
