Team,

I have a 1969 Superbee, in gold, which I believe is 2034 Gold Poly. Having said that, how does one get this stuff in a small quantity for a couple of projects...one of which is a soapbox racer.....

If you have a auto paint jobber near you try stopping in and talking to them. Be ready for sticker shock if you have never bought auto paint before cause it ain't cheap.
I have never bought anything from this place but it is mail order. Good luck.

.......also very helpful! I have a few of them around me.....I wonder if a store has to be equipped?

***** Update *****

So indeed, they do custom mix these. A pint of the stuff would run me about $50 so I'll just go by there and get a little educated on paint.

....will do. Found a fellow that wants to custom mix me a batch for the cars. Weight is an issue, but with such a cool color....the kids will love it.

We put any paint into spray cans. Local paint supplier may be able to do this as well.
