people dont even respect their cars enough to know the name of the color

napa or carquest will make you up a can. just give them your paint code. it's like 20 bucks for the can. They can even add flexcoat or clearcoat if you ask them.

I get mine from some guy off of ebay for $17 a 12oz spray can, I believe he gets them from Sherwin Williams, I have 2 cans but one has a busted tip, And I have the Merlot AX5, it matches perfect.

Hey where did you get your paint at that matches it completely? because I even got the paint pens from nissan to match my paint code and when I apply the paint it doesn't look that good at all.

I have used their areosol and spray gun paint and it's a great match to my KR4.

Ok Its just hard to find the paint because the car is still on its 10 year old paintjob which has obviously faded, so I cant just buy factory touch up paint or it wont match.

i bought mine from automotivetouchup.com

20 bucks a can,.. but one can would do both headlights...and you could just buy some autozone clearcoat... as far as im concerned its damn near perfect as far as matching comming out of a can,..

i did my entire stillen lip kit 4pcs by can...and it matches great..
