Paint for body kit

Where can I find Wa8555 to have my body kit painted. Maybe I am special but I looked everywhere and have had a hard time finding it. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Color matched? Go to the dealership and ask for it?

I am just looking for black. I looked on automotive touch up and it was $271 for a gallon. Is that a good price? I am new at this and I don't want to go in half cocked.

Lol, I mean't like having half of the trigger pulled back on the gun, but I guess the system thought I was being dirty.

idk to be honest but i paid 75 for a pint. which is roughly double that id give paint specialties a call anyway just bc my friend got some black to paint my bowties and it was like 5-10 bucks for the pint but he just got some random off the rack black nothing specific. might be worth the trouble to get it if its cheap enough.

are you spraying this yourself? and do you have a gun? if you have a carquest they mix paint and you can get the paint for your car. you can prob get by with single stage paint which will cost you about 40 dollars for a quart. then your hardner and reduces will cost you about another 50 bucks. this way you already have clear mixed into the paint. and if you want for extra protection get some clear and spray a good 3 or 4 layers for protection.

I am having someone that has a gun painting it. EmperorJJ1 thanks for the tip on the store from cruces. Called them and they priced it at 112 per gallon for basecoat and 76 for clear. Very thrilled. Thanks!
