If you have the paint, you can purchase the preval sprayer for 3 bucks at homedepot, and spray with that.

Try duplicolor

https://www.duplicolor.com/duplicolor/step1.php

Some colors they have, but not all colors.

If they dont have it go to your local automotive paint supply and they make spraycans for you. Yes youll pay for it but heck, the price of paint is alot. I was quoted a week ago $57 a pint or $111 per quart for the base coat and then $20 for the reducer to spray it, and I didnt let them tell me how much the clear was, i coulndt of taken it. You can get about 4 spraycans out of a pint of ready to spray paint, so if you can find somewhere that sells it ready to spray youll pay less. But over all the price is about the same. You mix the reducer like 1:1, so if you have a pint of paint you end up with a quart of sprayable paint. I was quoted $25 per pint ready to spray basecoat and ill put it in the spraycan myself. (I work for a industrial paint company). That or use a paint gun. Hope this helps, there is no quick or cheap way with automotive paint, trust me, Iv tried in the past.

Thanks for the helpful info...Duplicolor doesn't have the color i need..no easy way to accomplish this mission other than to bite the bullet and pay the $25 for the spray can...there are worse things in the world
