Where can i find the factory ford paint for my car? My paint code is D3. I went to my local Advance Auto store and they said that they cant get it! Where else can i go to get the paint? thanks for the help!

 

not to be a jackass, but have u tried ford?

 

If you need touch-up paint, Ford has applicators similar to the Dupli-Color 2-in-1 for a reasonable price.

 

Not to be a smartass, but i wanted to see if i could get it somewhere else before i spend an a$$ load of money on paint from a dealership!!

 

Yeah, im gonna re-paint my whole car!

 

10-4....I'll stop by a few shops tomorrow on the way to work and see what they say!

 

trying to paint your whole car with touch up paint? Are you driving a '70 cutlass? If your using a real base coat then your gonna need more than that.....how about a paint booth, spray gun, primer, clearcoat, wetsanding ability, baker, and ummm.... skill?

 

hes not trying to paint his car with touch up paint. Napa can get alot of Ford color paints in and there cheaper, otherwise you can search the net for them would be your best bet price wise i would assume.

 

I know what im doing, my dad and i paint cars in our spare time! So we everything, and we know the whole 10 yards on how to do it!

 

You can go to a paint store (auto) and they should be able to do a laser match on the paint.

what's wrong w/the place that ya'll usually get the paint from then? just curious..

 

My dad gets his paint from advance auto parts. If they carried the factory paint that i need for my car then im sure i would buy it from them.

 

gotchya.

 

Don't know if the prices are good or not but take a look at http://www.paintscratch.com/

 

not to be a dick but a 2003 model shouldn't need to be repainted already... you probably won't even notice a difference unless you never took care of the exterior paint in which case don't spend all the money to get it repainted.

 

I know what you are saying but im getting a new hood, front & rear bumper, and a new driver side fender, Then ill be filling in all the little dents, scrathes, and chips in the body of the car. And not to be an ***, I take VERY good care of my car, wax it once a week.

 

Thanks Bassman, Im gonna keep the website in mind, they have some stuff that i can use! The prices are not that bad either!

 

makes sense now

 

Yeah i know, I should have put that in the beginning of my topic so you know why ill be repainting my whole car, I just noticed that you live in Chicago. I used to live 20 or so minutes away from thier in a small town call Wauconda.
