i'd prefer spray, but if i can't then i guess i'll have to. the area is my wheel well and it's been missing paint for awhile and starting to rust. plus using a brush isn't quite as smooth looking as spray, but if i have to then i will.. just wondering if anyone knows

I've used Duplicolor Perfect Match spray paint followed by a coat of their clear coat with excellent results in the past. If it's not on the shelf of a local auto parts store they can probably order it for you. Just take your time and don't get in a hurry. A meticulous prep job followed by several thin coats (wet sanded between coats) worked well for me. I used 2000 grit paper for the final wet sand and the finish came out very smooth and glossy.

I'm looking for some spray touch up paint too. Are there any places online anyone reccomends? Such as I tell them I have a paint code of "11U" and they'll send me a can of matching paint?

03SS- Is the duplicor stuff available online? I know I can get the clear around here abundantly.

Some places won't ship paint, so you'll have to check the individual policies on their web site to see if they will or not. IIRC I think Summit ships paint. If the stores like Autozone, O'Reillys, etc won't ship to your home you might be able to order it from a local store and have them ship it there.

Here's the application guide for the Perfect Match:

I used the Duplicolor Perfect Match paint. It matches PERFECTLY! All you need to know is your paint code and then match it to the spray paint. This stuff is great.

I got mine from Advance Auto Parts, but I saw it at Autozone, and O'Reilly's Auto Parts too. It's pretty cheap for what it is.. only $7. I'll stand by it 100% as long as you get the right paint code.
