Where would I be able to but some rio red paint from?
All I need is enough to paint the tail light bezels.
Pep boys/Kragen/etc. doesn't have it.
Would Ford sell it? And if they do, do you know how much?
Thank you! :beer:

Goto a local paint supply store. Some of them have a nifty machine that puts paint in spray cans for you.
BUT.... Unless you plan on clearing them as well out of a spray can (looks like shit IMO) then it'd be better to just have a shop do them.

Can't see it costing more than 100 bucks to have them painted.

Why does it look like shit? I have painted spoilers before out of rattle cans paint and clear...it looks great, as long and you prep and wetsand/buff well.

Yeah, because this rattle-can job doesn't match at all. :rolleyes:

Sweet job man:beer:

That paint place is awesome, I bought my touchup from them as well. Great product. I just got a big paint chip come off my fender... about the size of a half dollar:fm: I will be trying my hand at fixing that.
Never done this type of paint repair before. Looking at how well your side scoops came out I may just rattle can the whole fender, lol
