Spray paint
I recall hearing that there was a company that would sell Model A color paints in a spray can. Does anyone know if that is true and which company sells it? Not looking for an exact match just close.

Re: Spray paint
Our local automotive paint supply store can color match your paint and package it in a spray can. Worked great for me on my antique airplane.

Re: Spray paint
Most automotive parts stores will color match and produce the product in a spray can. Not exactly rocket science!

Acrylic lacquers took over the market back in the 40s so it hasn't been a common finish material for a long time. Spray cans are good for small projects but anyone that has painted a car with rattle cans knows that it makes for a sore finger after doing a relatively small panel. It takes a lot of cans to do a big job. The fan is only a few inches wide so coverage is not well overlapped. The type of gas used as a propellant can make a difference in the quality of the finish. Rattle can finishes are never quite as good a a paint gun product properly mixed and shot with compressed air. Last edited by rotorwrench; 06-07-2020 at 09:17 AM. |

Re: Spray paint
For spraying small items black, I have found that ACE Hardware has excellent spray heads on their rattle cans. Ed

Re: Spray paint
Some of you may not realize, that the new spray heads can be turned to adjust the fan spray pattern, to spray either horizontal or vertical.

Re: Spray paint
Bob,
Hawley’s paint in Santa Rosa will make up paint and put in a spray can if you can give them a paint code. If not you’ll need to buff an area of the car to get the color up and have them use their computerized camera to make a color match, they can come pretty close. Dodge |

Re: Spray paint
Automotive touch up, is another company. Not sure if they have colours for the 'A', but I have had great luck with others. Its called touch up, but you can get any quantity of paint you want, from a small dipper bottle to gallons.

Re: Spray paint
Wesco auto body supply here in Seattle will mix a rattle can with hardner inside. You puncture the hardner inside when you are ready to spray. They have all the original color formulas, downside is it’s $70 a can. Still cheaper than $150.00 and up for a gallon. I have not used it however.

Re: Spray paint
Twenty eight and thirty two dollars is closer to the price of a quart rather than a gallon .

Re: Spray paint
TCP will sell spray cans. However the minimum order is one quart. They say 1 quart will fill 8 spray cans. They charge $14 to put the paint in a spray can. That does not include the cost of the paint.
