I think it was in a parts catalog I used to have, but I have no idea which one. I'm about to need 2 or 3 cans worth of Tahoe Turquoise basecoat after some minor body work, and I'd like to just buy it in spray cans. Anyone know where I might have seen it for sale?

Thanks!

I would use real paint. It only takes 20mins to pull out the paint gun and clean it. Spray paint can fade after time and become extremely noticable. If you are going to use 2 or 3 cans it must be a big spot but if u still want to use spray paint http://www.automotivetouchup.com/spray_paint.asp

Thanks for the link, Aaron. But I've seen ads - either in Mustang magazines or actual parts catalogs - for Mustang-specific colors in rattle cans. They're for sale right beside the interior lacquers.

In response to your advice: I don't have a paint gun or I'd be happy to use it! You advise to use "real" paint... What exactly do you mean? Do the spray cans contain fake paint? :scratch: It's not that large of a spot I need to repair. Just a few rust bubbles behind one front tire; then I'd also like to take care of some gravel damage on my front valance.

You're probably thinking about www.metromustang.com . They carry what you're looking for.

Another option would be to get some single stage paint mixed at a paint store and apply it with a Preval can. http://www.prevalspraygun.com/
