Someone should do a write up on this... it was a pia trying to get mine to fit right. I went today and purchased another one to do. If anyone is interested there is a red and black one left at the wal-mart near my work. Just pm me if you would like me to pick one up :top:

There is a great store in Sacramento that I've gone to for years. They mix car paint and put it in a spray can for you, with enamel, so you really dont need to clear it.

I wanted to ensure the paint was exact, so you know I went there rather than eyeballing it with other brands that might be close.

For a 12oz HUGE can, its about $18 at this store, if you want it, PM me and we'll work it out with shipping etc.

If not, check your stores locally, the paint code is 08P1.

Good luck :top:

Most are using model car paint, or at least thats what i used. I think the metallic blue by testors is suppose to be a pretty good match to SWB too. :top:
