Where can I buy paint for my G35

My driver side skirt paint is flaking off. I'm guessing who ever had the car before me got into an accident and had a crappy paint job done when it was repaired. I have a friend that can do the paint work but we're having trouble finding a place that will sell the paint we need in a small amount. They only sell in bulk. Being that we just need to repaint the one side skirt, we don't need that much paint. Does anyone know where I can buy some?

find a PPG dealer, they can match it and i imagine will do you a quart - i know the guys that do all the work on our cars dont have to buy bulk from them. but good luck on your search

His sides have already been painted wrong, they don't need a touch up! Look in your yellowpages under automotive paint/supplys, there should be a paint store in your neighborhood that carries everything you need to do the job right! Touch up paint....

Ask some bodyshops where to buy paint. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I was able to get small amounts of colour-matched paint at my local body-shop supply store.

Touch up paint sucks donkey ***** to be honest. Or for my color anyways. The color of my car is B16 Carribean blue and the touchup paint didn't come close to matching and just looked worse when I applied it on the spot that needed some.

Your best bet would be to go to a body shop and have them match the color of the paint for you. I tried a site called paintscatch.com and their paint is pretty decent and the color doesn't match exactly, but you don't really notice that spot unless you kneel down and take a look. Bought a few cans from them.
