hello every one. ive got the same problem alot of other ss owners have. the paint on my wing is practicly gone so ive dicited to paint it.

i would like to pray paint it the same color as the car but finding the paint will be hard unless anyone knows the number on a specific can/ brand of spray paint.

the color of my car is Winestone Pearl.

if theres no way to find the same color im just going to paint it black.

thanks, Andy

you can have a paint shop mix up a can of the proper color and have it put into a spray can.

just tell them the paint code and they will put it in a can.

some will even mix from a paint chip so that it will match the faded paint on the rest of the car.

same here, I just chipped off the old paint and sprayed some John Deere Blitz Black. It's a nice flat color.

the black looks good on bright red but i am not sure how good it would look on a winestone pearl car.

it depends on the type of paint you want.

20-30 bucks is my guess for a 12 oz. can.

They do exact factory colors and can put them in spray cans for you.

$24.95 per can and $7.95 shipping for 1 can and an extra dollar per extra can after the first.

ok, ive got about three coats of paint on it. ive done three coast on the top that was all chipped off, and one coat on the bottom. it only needs a little on bottom.

here some more pic's.

it will look alot better in the sunlight when its on the car.

Wet sand it with a very high grit sand paper and then buff it with some polishing compound. That will help get rid of the orange peel and make it shine better.

ive had my wing done for about, 2 days now. ive never painted before and it dosent look too bad.

if i wet sand it like you said it probley will come out a little better.

i also repainted my hood scoop too. it was chipping all to hell to. i did a better job on it and looks really nice. ill post a pic.

Buy new wiper arms. I wasted time trying to get the rust off so it could reappear in a few months until I found out the arms were only like $12 from the dealer.
