    Duplacolor paint???

    Ok guys, Well I have a Denali bumper cover and a rear roll pan that I need to paint. I was wondering has anyone tried out the Duplicolor spray can paint? I know everyones going to say save your time and have a pro paint them but they want $350.00 bucks to paint them, and I would rather use that money on a tune or something else. I have a black truck and I know they have a matching paint code I just wanted to see if any of you have tried it. Also if so, did you use a clear afterwards or just buffed it out. I'm handy and know the basic rules of painting. Thanks everyone!!!

    You won't be happy with the results and you will end up getting it painted at a shop anyway.

    haha dont do it! to many people try it then have to pay more to sand it all back off as well as the cost of the wasted spray cans... save your pennies and get it done once and done right.

    Your paint code is WA8555 if im right. or it might be WA5888. Its in the glove box tag under all the RPA numbers. It just doesn thave the WA only the numbers.

    Sorry to thread jack but do I have to get it from a dealer? Will it still match if I get it from a parts store?

    Go to any paint shop or body shop that has their own mixing banks and get it. Or go to a local PPG or Dupont distributor and get it. Not the dealership. I prefer PPG myself, but thats what Ive been spraying my whole life.
