Default Looking for some paint...

Hey, all. I need some help finding some of the DWP-051 (Diamond White Pearl) paint for my 2001 IS300 in an AEROSOL can.

I found it on this website:

http://www.expresspaint.com/automoti...&idCategory=25

They want $50 for 11 oz. Incredibly expensive... I'd be fine with something not 100% exact, for a temporary job.

Quick story, my rear bumper was replaced with a silver one. I plan on painting the entire car in the future, but for now... I just want it to be close. The silver stands out way to much for my liking.

Thanks, guys.

You can't get a Duplicolor spray can at your local auto parts store?

I went to Duplicolor's website before posting the thread, and it seems that they don't have the right color.

There is a shop locally here that puts paint in spray cans, the price depends on the grade of paint and colour. I paid $35 for a 1990 Camry (the paint was a surprisingly complex mix according to the guy that did it). I would not be surprised if a higher end Lexus paint is $50/can. Try automotivetouchup.com they seem to be a bit cheaper.

BTW a tri-coat paint means you get 2 cans I think.
