Default Spray Paint

Anyone know of a brand/color name of spray paint that matches the Red Rock pretty good? I got a utility trailer and think I want to paint the side panels to sort of match the JK...it doesn't need to be exact, just close...

Then maybe ill stencil on "JEEP" and slap some JK stickers on it

Paint code is either on the side of the door, or in the VIN number of your jeep...
Or go to your local paint supplyer and tell him the year, he will get ya det up..

Im looking for a quicker solution...and cheaper...

I was hoping rustoleum or duplicolor had something close...I guess maybe ill take the color sample from the JK brochure and try to match it up...

Does HD or lowes sell paint in a can that I can use?? That way they can just scan the color sample and mix me the right color....

You can get HD to colormatch into a rustoleum. Rustoleum does make a mixable non-spray paint that is good for metal. I would recommend the white sponge roller (looks like a hot dog) to apply. It leaves it much smoother than a brush and are inexpensive. The canned paint for the rustoleum will not be much more then the rattle can but you will also be very close to your Red Rock JK. Good luck and throw some pics up when your done.
