so i have a shaved, wingless hatch that is primer grey that i want to paint to match my car since my hatch is rotten and such. i’m cheap and don’t want to spend money for a body shop to paint it and i like to do everything on my car myself, so has anyone had good success with a particular brand of spray paint’s colour matching the stock 240 black? thanks. ---

Haha, im in the exact situation your in, I have a clean shaved hatch that was in primer a couple days ago because mine was rotted out, im using regular krylon black spray can, I dont know how well it will match, but black is black most of the time and its just untill I save up for a complete paintjob anyways. If im done before you start i’ll post some pics of the colour difference. ---

Hey man why are you painting it… spray it no gloss black… or primer black and leave it… the two tone looks wicked i got it on my car. ![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g160/vnovshad/P1010086.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g160/vnovshad/P1010086.jpg) ---

honestly, i don’t like the flat colour mixed with the glossy paint like you have, i would really enjoy it to be the same colour as my car, but i know it won’t be perfect. i’m sure it will look better than rotten holes under my spoiler though. sidewayz, i won’t be working on it til this weekend probably so if you could post pics when you get yours done that would be sweet, thanks. ---

They have paint match in spray cans at Carquest for about 30$…turns out great just make sure you properly prep and degrease what you’re working with. ---

Go to an auto supplies store called “Cross Canada” they can match any colour in a spray bomb for about 25+tax as well they will have all the materials you need to get a good finish. ---
