Going to rattle can a car, and have been looking for the best match to the OEM seafoam color in spray paint. The best one I have found is a "satin" color from Rustoleum http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGPr...40266

Only problem with that is, how satin will it look on the car? I have my doubts... Duplicolors auto line doesn't have a OEM match for the seafoam Nissan color and the only other close matches I could think of (like Fords...) I can't find the paint code for.

And also, what color is on the bottom of the two-tone seafoam coupes? Thanks for your help.

Good luck finding a rattle can that matches oem unless your going to clear coat over it, which would be a bad idea anyways.Rattle can FTL.

I'm going to assume you're joking.

Anyways, beginning to think it would be cheaper to airgun it. http://www.automotivetouchup.c...41096

That site looks pretty cheap but a spray can of OEM color is 20 bucks, or 45 for a pint, 80 for a quart. I will see what the paint shops charge ... never use my airgun before...scary

Practice on a panel or something. Most shops will rent there booth and gun out for $100 for two days.If you need any tips on painting I could help. I think there are a couple guys on here that actually work in a shop.
