If a bit like me, you have something a little too special for any off-the-rack crap, and you just know that can of spray paint from Repco just isn't quite going to look the part, and you know someone in the states, or don't mind shipping, then may be have a look at these guys.. think I might be..

That's not necessary - there are commercial automotive paint suppliers here in NZ that will match paint and supply it to you in aerosols, tins, or whatever. That way, not only will they match it from your paint code, but they can also make sure it matches what your paint actually looks like.

That is actually quite important as old paint would have faded some amount and would not be as sharp as a new coat of that paint.

Not to mention easier to ffix if something goes wrong and easier to buy 1 more can when you just dont quite have enough..
