...can i find plastikote paints in edmonton or calgary?
Or better yet - a place that can match me a paint equal to the color on my center console? (that will also be a tough, long lasting paint) I know that there's a guy that mixed 2 plastikote colors that came damn close and I have the color codes for that, but i'd prefer just one paint that's already the right color. |
Hi Jason
I spoke to my auto body friend and he gave me a name of a company that mixes colours for him. However they use the auto paint codes. If you take a piece that you want to match they may be able to do it and they can even put it in a spray bomb for you. The name of the company is Southtown Auto Parts. Of course these would be auto paints which may be a good thing. The other option is to go to Home Depot and they have a machine that can read the colour from the piece and maybe they can mix you up something in an enamel. |
Excellent! Thanks. I thought of doing the color match thing at home depot, but i didn't think they'd be able to do it with a paint that i'd want to use in my car. (don't know how well deck stain ;) would work.. hahaha)

I'm not sure if canadian tire stilll sells this, but i do know for a fact that they used to sell Plastikote...... they didn't have a huge selection but they did have some of the more primary colors.

Hey Jason, I found your Plastikote. Tons of it!!! Okay maybe a bunch and not a ton. That same place, Southtown Auto Parts has a bunch of cans there in many colours. That store is part of the UAP/NAPA group and one of the few that mixes auto body paint.
I was in there getting some paint for my...wait for it...P5 :D. I am painting the upper grill now and I figured I should do it right and get the right primer for the plastic grill. The paint on the lower grill is starting to come off so I will redo that too. Check them out. Not sure if they are open Saturdays but you can call. |
