U can always go to a automotive paint shop and get custom spray cans done up. They can match colors and and throw it either in a spray can or a can if you have your own spray gun.

that's entirely too involved...

A decent silver automotive paint will cut it just fine...
untill I goobered one of my painted wheels with reducer, your REALLY had to look to see that I painted it... and I just used cheap silver paint that I had floating around the garage...

Jonathan, what's the way you speak of? I'm curious

And I was thinking on heading to Calgary auto body supply (where I got my hood for my accident from) and getting it from there. My dad got his when he had rust from there

Sand it UP TO

It depends on which way your talking about. If your talking about just sanding it down, then start with like 120

Lol it should be fun surgery. New motor mounts, refitting lines, hacked up harnesses all over the place. But if you have the determination and a good plan then almost anything can be accomplished
