GM paint colors in spray cans?

Well everybody I'm about to replace my front drivers door and I don't want to have a completely ackward looking color on my 70' burb. I will eventually paint it all professionally but til then I was looking for the actual color in a spray can will do the job for now. I don't know my paint code but the suburban is goldish/brown. So if you know where I can find the correct color in a spray can you please let me know.


thanks

Just go down to your local automotive paint supply store. They can look up the color in their book & custom mix it into a spray can for you for about $15

Or, find your paint color here

Then go to your local auto parts store and look in the spray paint section for Duplicolor paint.

You won't be able to have spray cans mixed here in California. Your best bet is www.paintscratch.com

I don't know, I was told nobody would do it. I called every paint store around and got the same story...
