By champagne I guess you're meaning silver birch? The colormatch that Oriellys, advance, and autozone sell is good quality. It's made by Duplicolor and is about $7-$8 a can if I remember right. All your paint is in the prep really and taking your time. I'm doing my interior pieces right now and they're turning out perfect like they were stock

Yes that color and exact same paint I was looking at and I plan on sanding them real well and taking my time to lay even coats then go back and clear coat, do you think primer would be a good idea?

YES!!! Take it from me... I painted my gauge dash piece 3 times before I primed it. Everytime I sprayed it the paint would begin to crack. Use a adhesion promoter ( sounds like bull but it works), a good primer, and then several light coats of paint. Then clear if that's what your going for. I wetsanded mine and cleared them so they came out perfect like body paint

I've done silver birch and victory red with no issues whatsoever.

or call an autopaint store and have your exact paint code mixed into a rattle can and spray the actual paint for your truck on whatver you want.

it costs about $30 bucks for a can, but its the exact correct auto paint, and not some cheesy model paint that will fade in 6 months..

+1 for this. I get all my Camaro OEM matching blue paint from here and it's been spot on.

:lmao:

dustin our color is a bitch and a half to match correctly. you can probably get away with it on your mirrors but for a gas door or handles or a grill i would have a shop do it. a spray can just dosnt do the same as actual paint.

I recently painted a set of fender flares with duplicolor oem white paint, I, very happy with the color but will need to do a couple more coats of white also some clear coat.

I was told to wetsand and buff it to make it "pop" like the rest of the truck but I need some more paint on them anyways.

This happens a lot when I upload pictures from my iPhone/iPad it flips the pictures upside down!!

+1 as well, my metallic green is dead on have never had any issues with them

Duplicolor was a perfect match for victory red. I used it for my DRL covers and the stripes on my SS engine cover.

@rshadd I thought that perfection didn't need any paint! :lmao:

I bought white, black and blue from them in aerosol cans
They even have a pretty damn good 2 part clear coat in a can
I'm hard to impress, and I think my parts came out pretty damn good

As said before, prep will make or brake a paint job

Prep work is a must. Primer is a must. Plus you wanna make sure you spray out a let down panel as well. When matching you wanna use the same light from the first look. To your let down. To your final spray out. I notice this is a little dated by now but just words of advice.
