Rattle can paint

Post by bmcgc »

I need the red and white paint for my 66 in rattle cans.

I have some minor touch up in the interior and dont want to go to the trouble of using a compressor, plus since we moved I have never found the box with my paint hoses and water seperator.

I know Pep Boys used to carry touch up paint in rattle cans, but havent been in one in years.

Whats my best bet for finding some?

How much do you want to paint? You can always get in quart cans and buy the aerosol unit for $16. I find it much easier to just bite the bullet and use the compressor and HVLP gun.

Very true but I have such a small amount of touch up I figured that one rattle can of each was all I needed. The defroster vents are black and bent from over tightening the screws, I want them red. The two pieces on the far left and right of the dash are also black and look out of place, so I want them red.

The am/fm radio I pulled out was so small that the faceplate of the correct radio completely hides the hacked dash (luck), but I need to touch up around the radio since the PO taped the radio off instead of removing it when he painted the dash.

What color primer is under the red? Im guessing it was white.
