I hava pint of Acrylic Enamel paint from Napa for my car. How do I make a couple of bottles of touch up paint. Also though about using one of those Preval spray kit to spray paint a couple of rims. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

Select Car Quests can mix and load paint in spray cans. They may be able to use your paint instead. I believe it needs to be thinned for aerosol. I don't know if they have small bottles for touch up...

If anyone can answer this it would be Karl. He probably has some on hand.

I found a company in WI, APS Tower Paint in Appleton that is pretty reasonable, $12 for a 3 oz bottle and $19 for a 12 spray can plus $9 shipping. But I was hoping to use the paint I have. Mitch, by select car quest, do you mean some stores can mix it and load it in spray can; but others don't have the capability? Is there a car quest store that you know of, that is somewhat close to Lake City?

Yes, Jim, some can and others can't. There's one a block from Tony's house that can spectragraph old paint and match it for bottles, cans or bulk. I don't have any clue what's down your way...

I ordered some from the WI paint store just after lunch. I just need a little to touch up a couple of spots. May need more in the future if I decided to paint a set of rims the Regal Red color. For future reference, where does Tony live? I am guessing in St. Paul. Thanks.

for reference, Car Quest has a division of Autobody supply. Only select sotres/areas have it. There's one in Fridley off 73rd and University Ave that we used to get supplies from for our dealership's bodyshop. Now we use Lowell's.

I had some paint put in a can at Auto Value a while back. They had a paint store in Duluth attached to the parts store. I need to do that again as I have a pint of paint I would like put in a rattle can so I will have to call around down here.
