Hey guys,

I'm usually over at the gen 3 camry section, but little do most people know I also own a 92 corolla. very simple machine, that's why i love it so much, its so easy to work on. there are a couple of spots of rust that i'm fixing up now and need to buy some OEM paint, preferably in spray can form. The car is color code 183, I believe they call it "grey slate" but anyway, where can I find this paint online? All I find are the paint pens. I'm hoping some of you guys here might be able to help me locate some paint so I can fix up the rust.

Cheers

Awesome thanks. There's literally nowhere in my town (not even my local Toyota) that can get the colour of my car.

Thanks eyeball, you're everywhere lol I've seen that site but $26 for economy 12oz sounds really expensive, not including shipping too.

When I got my 6p2 paint from those spray cans I think they were about $8 for 8oz

Just checking to see if there were other places that people here knew since our cars are much older and they might not make rattle cans for these OEM colors anymore

I recently visited the NAPA warehouse distribution Center ( I'm lucky enough to have near by) that has a Paint Shop, and wanted to buy 3R3 (Barcelona Red) mixed and in a spray can. I was quoted $86 for 3 oz.

They suggested I get the Duplicolor Rattle that was available for $7 bucks a can, and I took their advice.

So for a discontinued color, that's not a bad price IMO.

Any decent auto body supply store will mix you the base coat in a can. Cost is usually around $25/can for about 14 oz. Most will also do a camera match for free if you request it, if your paint has faded over time. Ask around and see if you can locate a store. Many times they aren't advertised and may be somewhat off the beaten path. Ask a couple of guys in the business where they get their supplies locally. After you apply the base coat, apply SprayMax 2K Clear ( a two part clear in a can) for professional results.
