Since this is a small area, will tackle the prep & repaint myself. With that in mind, any recommendations where I can buy Speedway Blue (8P1) paint in a "rattle can" sprayer? (Don't have a LVHP paint system in my garage.) I will also want a rattle can of clear coat, preferably from the same manufacturer (PPG, etc.) as the paint (to keep it all in the family). Guess that probably also goes for the adhesion promoter.
Is there a good online source, or can I find this at a local automotive paint store?
Had my bumper replaced several months ago (kid backed into my X while it was parked), and although the paint didn't match perfectly, I was OK with the slight difference. I can live with a slightly different shade, as long as it isn't grossly out of whack.
With that in mind, should I stick with the stock color, or go with something a little different like matte black (with a clearcoat)? Have it dipped? Wrapped? Or go with something completely different like http://www.carbonhoodscoop.com/? If the price of the factory replacement paint & prep materials is pushing over $100, it may be worth just going with the last option.
TIA!
