is there a spraypaint that matches my 97 white eclipse?

I got a 97 eclipse, white, and the bumper is ####ed! I don't want to paint the car if I jus need to touch up a few small parts. is there a white paint I can get from krafen or autozone that will match it up good? I know nothing is perfect but something close at least?

yea go to your local kragen and go to the paints section, there will be a manual with the factory paint codes and just search up your specific code and they should have 1. touch up paint (for small dings and scratches) or 2. a paint canister for larger jobs.

yes there is. I used a rust-o-leum gloss white from kragen.

my front bumer is spray paint.

Paint Codes for all DSM Years

If you scroll down, go to your year and it has the paint codes for each paint company.

Also, here's a place you can order it directly from. I ordered a can for my 97 silver gsx, I used it on the fog light bezel's and the rear light that everyone painted. Don't forget the clear coat!

awesome! thanks guys.

I also have key scratches on my doors and hood. they are fairly deep. anyone have recommendations to fix these? I have the stick of paint from the dealer but I need some puddy or something I think to fill it in?

damn i went to kragen and they didn't have anything that matched my paint. Their book stopped at 1998..bastards..

I think im gonna try and use the website to order the paint.

I need basecoat, clearcoat, and what else?
since its my bumper, the website recommends an adhesion so the paint bonds with it better. Is this something i really need or just BS?

They recommend it because it is a urethane bumper so an adhesion promoter is suggested. It helps. Also you can go to a dupont or ppg and have them give sell you a can of whatever color you need.

no dupont or ppg in san jose. Closest PPG is in redwood city.
