[alantjw]

im actually asking for something like in this video
Bumper Paint Touchup - YouTube
you can skip to 2:40 for the part where the paint is made. i saw this in lots of tutorials on youtube.

If you compare to accessory shop probably cheaper or same but I am talking about local hardware shop. Or probably because my local hardware shop is old school in old town...haha
I wanted a switch for my tap to water filter, ACE selling RM35, bought at Hardware shop RM20.
Now buy most of my stuff from HW shop, near my place also....

haha i guess most items, the Kedai Perniagaan Logam XXX will be cheaper than ACE..or XXX Hardware haha...but at my area, only got 1 good hardware shop. Others are selling cheap stuffs...even the paint, once i bought a silver spray paint for RM6. Used 1/4 only then the nozzle broken lolllll so fragile. But i love shops like ACE Hardware...its a shopping place for us LOL

Nope, they won't be able to can them in spray can. They mix for spray shop, because I followed spray painter there and had a look....

Got la. I had a custom red colour mixed into a spray for my old Kelisa bumper repair.

Oh! the shop you went to can do it.....

It's not exactly cheap. But for RM48 a can (around there) it's cheaper than going to the shop to do it.

RM48 for the paint only, job not done yet.....

 

[alantjw]

i think its ok to try 1 can first. its almost the same price as Plastidip anyways

 

[Izso]

As I said earlier, I need to get a can mixed for a mini project of my own. If you're interested we can get it done at the same time.

[Izso]

you'll need to bring a sample colour of the colour you want, then then can mix for you
