does anyone know if i can the the color blaze red in a spray can???if so where and what brand thanks

 

ive looked, no one seems to sell the exact match in a ratle can/touch up tube. lots are close, but no one has it dead on.

if you are trying to do a repair and want a reasonable paint match, go to a profesional paint supply shop and ask them to mix you up a pint made to match YOUR own paint. a odds are a rx7 born blaze red isnt quite that shade anymore (fading ect), so even if someone did sell it in a can, it probobly wouldnt match as well as the curent digital paint match technology can acheive.

when i had a pint made for my hood and sunroof, it only cost me about $25 and they did the digital match for free. HOWEVER, canned paint requires clear (about the same cost by volume) and ussualy primer (depending on what you are painting over) and you need a gun and compressor blah blah blah.

thats if you want to do it right. getting it to look good costs $$$ plain and simple, regardless of if you do it or a pro does.

if you just want it to be red and dont realy care about the lustre or exact match of the finish, try a few different cans of genero red until you get one that comes closest.

gm's "fire red" iirc (recent color used on c5 vette's, and new monte carlos) comes pretty damn close. might be a place to look since odds are better itll be available in a spray can (i know its available in touch up pens since a buddy got some for his monte carlo from the dealer).


in other words, if you are going rattle can, dont bother finding the exact color, cus its gona look a little crappy no matter what.

 

well it can come out nice cuz i have seen it doen before. but man i have to go get it mixed..that sucks i dont wanna go to the trouble, thanks for the info i really appreciate it
thanks

 

no prob. if you are going to go the whole nine yards and paint it yourself, llok up a thread called "project paint the 7" its got TONS of good info on doing your own paint work.

rattle can paint can turn out ok (especialy if you take the care to prime and sand between coats), itll just never have the deep shine of a standard prime/base/clear finish. i would have gone this route if i wasnt doing my hood since its such a vissable peice.

either way its your call. good luck.

 

i search project paint the 7 and nothing came up....

 

nm i found it

 

I've found a Dodge paint in a can that is so close to Blaze Red that you'll never no the difference. I sprayed my chin spoiler with it. It doesn't have the "depth" of a professionally sprayed part, but the color is perfect. I'll get the code off the can. Bought it at Autozone for $3.

 

Check out www.paintscratch.com

They have excellently matched every factory color I have ever asked from them. They have databases of almost every factory color out there, and will mix it and deliver it to you in Spray Can, Bottle, Paint Pen, or whatever.

They sent me Blaze Red in a spray can that I used to repaint some mirrors and it turned out perfect!

 

I was just going to post that link goliath I was planning on picking up a can to fix some chips.

 

thanks. i hope they have it a a kargen because i dont have a autozone around here

 

thats weird..on www.paintscratch.com it says a 91 rx7 is "Vintage Red Tri-Coat Clearcoat" i found blaze red (sq) on the site but im not sure what to order.
