Infiniti Paint In a Rattle Can...

I'm thinking of taking on a project and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get Infiniti paint code BW5 in a rattle can...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Make sure u properly prep that because it is pure plastic. You will need to clean it with a plastic cleaner, apply plastic adhesion promoter then paint. You wont be able to match the factory clear wit rattle can imo

You're probably right about the clear, but both of those sites do sell a clear coat that is supposed to be very similar to what is used on the rest of the car.

I'm sure they sell. Clear but it will prob b aerosol. Aerosol has no hardner. It just dries so u really can sand and buff it. I've never been able to slick out aerosol clear as I can urethane clear.

That's true... I have had good luck so far with basic rattle paint and clear and I'm hoping the clear these sites have is a little better...

Here's some damage I painted over on my DD. Granted car was dirty in the before pics but I was happy with the results.

After

It doesn't look too bad. I guess I'm kinda bias to aerosol as I paint cars and have access to a booth and urethane paint

They sell urethane clear with hardener in it. I was considering getting some to refinish my wheels. Not cheap at $36/can though. The paintscratch.com website sells a 'catalyzed clearcoat' which looks to be the same type of product for $20/can.

I'd rather not use an aerosol clear either, especially on the G. I don't mind so much on my 18 year old DD.

OKStateG35... where did you find the urethane clear?
