Color Matched Spray paint? Cherry blossom red

2.5 Blue Roo · 12-27-2006, 12:37 PM

I need a can or two of Cherry Blossom Red spray paint, or any kind of pink that might match. Lowes and other hardware stores have flourescent pink, but I dont think that will match very well. Are there any places around frderick/germantown that might be able to color match and put it in a spray paint can? I have a sticker for a color reference
thanks

Look what did I tell you about painting your underwear, it's just not a good idea plus you may ruin your washing machine, I think you have become to obsessed with the STi thing

Search interior/exterior for Cherry Blossom Red or STi pink. There have been some efforts in tracking down suitable alternatives.

I personally really like that BASF Carizzma Fushsia Candy that's on their RX-7 widebody

Some Napa Auto stores do spray can paint match. You just need the paint code.

2.5 Blue Roo · 12-27-2006, 10:31 PM

i found almost a perfect match

i found it at wal mart

its krylon H20 based spray paint
"rhine river rose"

2.5 Blue Roo · 12-27-2006, 11:53 PM

paint dryed very nicely

ill take some pics tommorow to show you guys what I did

2.5 Blue Roo · 12-28-2006, 11:41 PM

so im going for the spec c type RA look

no, they arent stock swaybars, they're cusco 22mm adjustable rear and 22mm front that needed a new paint job

im very happy with the way they turned out, almost a perfect match

they match better in person, the flash makes the color a little different in the pics
look i was going for:

Phy6 · 12-29-2006, 12:11 AM

2.5 Blue Roo · 12-29-2006, 08:03 PM

the paint turns anything into an STi part!! hahah

pearwear · 01-19-2007, 08:19 AM

the paint is actually Rhine River Red part #2620....

can't seem to find any in my city

I blame Canada

SilverBullet2.5RS · 01-19-2007, 08:30 AM

I blame the paint Nazi's, as I too can't find any here. This is the second Nasioc thread about spray paint that I can't find the paint anywhere.

So what locations actually have it?

pearwear · 01-19-2007, 08:32 AM

I actually e-mailed Krylon to get me some lol...

Let us know how that turns out

2.5 Blue Roo · 01-20-2007, 11:15 PM

wal mart is where i found it...only 2 cans though so they might not may not have it everywhere else. i lucked out

good luck searching!

Just and FYI; There are multiple cherry blossom red's. The red that is on the emblem is different for the different years. On the 04's it is a little more easter-pink and on the 05's its a little more hot-pink. I noticed this when switching grills with an 05 and an 04. The 05 had the pink-i emblem and I was pillarless. We ended up switching grill mesh so the pink-i would match the pink on my mesh emblem.

VIR EURORALLY · 02-05-2007, 10:43 PM

It's not necessarily a different color of CBR, but the fact that the '04 emblems are chromed where the '05+ are molded in black with the CBR. This will make it to appear darker the same as using a grey primer vs. a black primer in painting or using different color bases under the "Kandy" colors.

andrew12 · 02-06-2007, 12:33 AM

def makes me think i should repaint my sway bars... just in general cause they looks horrible

styng88 · 02-06-2007, 08:40 AM

I've used that Krylon latex before; I'd be surprised if it holds up very well.

SilverBullet2.5RS · 02-06-2007, 06:56 PM

Still can't find this stuff, looked in Richmond, Roanoke, Blacksburg, Christansburg..... it's a PITA

2.5 Blue Roo · 02-06-2007, 08:04 PM

really? thats a bummer...ill check if they have it up at school, maybe it was a fluke when i found it at home

SilverBullet2.5RS · 02-06-2007, 09:35 PM

Yeah do, I'll buy a can off ya
