Can't find GM paint for 96 chevy P/U

[bouzer]

I need to paint a spot on my work truck and can't find any light autumnwood exterior paint. I would like to find it in a 12oz can, but none of the auto part stores carry this color...Anyone know who sells it..I even went to the dealer that sold me my truck and they were clueless...I guess I could go to a auto body shop and get a quart?

Your more than likely going to have to go to a local automotive paint supplier. He can pick your color out of a catalog by model and yr. You can choose which brand to use after he finds the color code. Most PPG colors will be more$ others will be cheaper. If you want to go with a middle of the line paint ask about the Omni Brand, its made by PPG but a lot cheaper (dollar wize). I've painted many trucks and use it a lot. If your just painting a small spot and don't have a spray gun ask them for a Prevail spray can while your there, you can mix your paint and reducer pour it into you Prevail bottle and spray away. Should do pretty good I use them for spot jobs and small clear coat shots on scratches.

get the paint code out of the glove box (labeled bc/cc u???? l????) Upper/ Lower pick which you need, get the year, go to the local auto paint store and tell them you need a touch up amount and it wouldn't cost $15. and a quart of quick clear $20-and hardener $15-. What's $50.? You might need the clear and hardener again. It is always good to have around.
