If you needed paint

and you had a car in 1978 code 21 'pastel blue' and you needed a small spray can to touch up like new bumper inserts etc, who would you get it from?

(I did find that automotive touch up will mix me a spray ready gallon of enamel for $325, but they recommend clearcoat as well.)

They can't mix up a batch of single stage?

they also offer 2oz spray bottles I can prolly run thru the pasche....

Back in the day when I was a distributor rep we sold more of the Crown tools to the pro shops just because of the length of time you could use the tool, fewer starts and stops less pressure fluctuation..... Tedd
