Sherwin Williams Automotive Repaint Place-Thingy..

525 Milner Ave

It'll be 20 bucks a can. It takes 2 cans to do your skirts.. Be prepared to put out some cash.. They custom make the paint for you in the back and put it in the can.

.................................................. .....

OR! You can try Canadian tire, they have exact match paint. I couldn't find mine so I had to go to that Sherwin Williams place. CT will be much cheaper..

Have fun!

This may be too late, but you really shouldn't go by your paint code. Your cars paint may have faded over the years and if you paint your skirts by the paint code they'll come out a nice dark red while the rest of the car is a little dull.

If possible get a set of paint chips and hold up all the reds to see which matches the best. This is what the real shops do, can't always go by the code.

Just a heads up.

red fades fastest? isnt it the clear coat that fades/wears off?

Don't chip any paint off your car just to get the matching paint, just take off your gas lid off and match with that!
