i am workin on some fiberglassing for the interior of my 96 accord and i was looking for a blue paint i like for some pieces, i seen a 2005 toyota tundra with a shade of blue i like, it is called bluesteel metallic. also i seen a blue for an rsx i like called vivid blue pearl. i am in debates. but i was looking for a website where u can find oem paints. all i have been able to find is touch up paints. I was curious to know if anyone knows of any sites where u can order oem paint. i probably need a quart at most.

Most bodyshop supply houses can mix it up for you. Just tell them the year make and model of the color you want and they can look it up. ------------- Nik

The paint code for the Acura Vivid Blue Pearl is B520P, sorry can't help on the Toyota color. The names that the manufactures give the color's aren't always acurate. On a Toyota the paint code is listed on the drivers side door jamb, you can find the paint code listed there.
Any autobody supply store can mix the color for you. One thing to remember with the Metallic and Pearl paints, they are a 2 stage paint process, meaning base coat, clear coat, this is sometimes not always able to be made into a one stage color if you are wanting to spray the parts yourself and keep the cost down. Check with the Autobody supply store, the store that I deal with can make the colors in a spray can, if you need more help I have been an automotive painter for the past 21 years, so feel free to write...

any auto body supply shop can do that for you. I like autobodysupply for a lot of things but paint is overpriced compaired to a supply shop
