  • Paint match? for a Festiva?

    I was wondering if anyone has found off the shelf spray paint (rattle can)
    that matches the Festiva colors? Specifically, 88-89 Bright Red.
    I'm trying to match it close enuf that I can paint my new fender and door and it not "standout" as being different color. I have found one color by Rustoleum that comes very close. Sunrise Red. It is not "auto" paint, just regular gloss enamel. Not wanting to paint the whole car just yet.
    I have looked into having it mixed by a auto paint supply place. $30 and they mix a quart and put it into a rattle can. I dont think it will match all that well that way either, 1) its old paint on car and 2) they can get it close, but it still will not match.

                      I checked out the Krylon "Banner Red". and drool It is the exact same color as Rustoleum "Sunrise Red", BUT with one very noticable difference.
                      The Rustoleum paint is 3X glossier/shinier! I sprayed both on same test piece and the Rustoleum looks like it had been buffed, in comparison to the Krylon.
                      Smoother and seemed to hold better to the surface than the Krylon too. Hmmm.....
