Does anybody know where I can order a can of spray paint for my Soarer? I need the colour 1A0 (bluish silver) and nobody in Townsville seems to be able to order it in or to mix it (not that this surprises me, really)...

Is your paint colour a standard Soarer colour mate? If so, give Castle Hill Toyota a ring. They'll have touch up paint for any stock Soarer colour. Give their Parts & Accessories section a call: (02) 8831 8831

Yeah, I got some touch up paint from Castle Hill, but I need some paint in a spray can. I tried to get the colour mixed at Autobarn etc. but they don't even have it in their computer... 1A0 is a standard Soarer colour...

Townsville sucks sometimes. I wouldn't mind to pay for postage as long as I can get the paint...

I tried to get my soarer paint (3k3 mica red)mixed and put in a spray can but was told there was some law preventing it. Sounded like crap but the paint shop has a machine sitting idle out the back.

Any paint shop worth its salt should be able to mix it in a tin for you. If I can get it done in sh!tsville(oops, I mean Singleton) you should be able to do it anywhere. All they needed was the paint code.

Over here in Sheepland we's can get any colour we want mixed as either a Touch-up Bottle with brush thingo, OR as a spray can..........no worries!

So I reckon there's gotta be some place over there who'll do it

I had troubles finding someone to mix one up for me too. (pearl white) got the ping pong from place to place. I think it was "anchor paints" that ended up being able to do it (i dont know if they have stores over in queensland?). Being a pearl colour they said they had to do two cans; one of the white and then one of the pearl. All up it was looking a bit pricier than what i expected so never got one in the end. Can't find anyone that just does the small bottles though! They are really what im looking for.

Finally found someone who can mix the colour and fill it in spray cans. Not really cheap with $26 a can, but still reasonable...

will probably cost more when you will find you may need clear coat over the top when it dries flat. let us know how it turns out .
