Where to find car paint?

Anyone know where I can get some paint for my car? Planning on repainting it a different color and want to look at some different colors out there. Not sure what color to pick yet

Why not a custom paint color that stands out? If you go to tcpglobal.com and look at their restoration shop colors they have some nice colors in the firemist category.

What's your favorite color?




My favorite color is kinda illegal on a street-driven car. Can't be worse than mine. (Chrome)

Like a darkish purple where it almost looks black.

1. I'm trying to get away from black

2. Only ppl that paint their cars purple are usually ghetto lowrider gangsters lol

Agreed that purple is a hard color to do on a Cobalt. Someone in Abilene has a base sedan with this color purple:



It looks full-on retarded.

I think he means painting the door jambs to match the outside color of the car, not just painting the outside.

Ahh i get it....ehhh idk im thinking it might look cool if i do end up doing white lol. cuz imma leave the roof black and possibly evo mod also black so having inside engine bay black would be cool and the doors too. it'll be like a dalmation haha

but yeah if i can't decide on a color from here till then ill prolly end up doing summit white
