Default torch red paint

Can anyone help me find torch red paint in a spray can? Thanks for your help. Looking to repaint my license plate cover.

if there is torch red paint in a spray can it most likely will not match your torch red car IMO

I bought 4 spray cans at Meijer's...if there is one in your area, you can get them for around $4...oh, and the match is spot on.

You can buy spray cans from any decent auto paint store in your area. I bought some thru my local GM dealer, perfect match.

I bought a small can for the same reason at Kragen Auto Parts. My cover is a "smoothie"!

I agree that any paint store in your area can put it in a spray can for you. I just bought 2 cans from Jerrys Paints in Sacramento so I can paint some Amps and other car audio stuff I'm about to install in my C5. You can get it with or without the clear coat in it. I've done it both ways in the past. If it's a part that will be easy to wet sand and such, i will get the cans without clear and buy a couple cans of clear coat to finish off the piece.

a few years ago the local wal-mart clearanced all their duplicolor srpay cans. I picked up 5 cans of torch red for $1 each, and YES it does match well.

I used it on the underside of the car to cover scrapes.
