| Don't know of any specific paint stores not being from there, but napa sells automotive paint in the martin senour brand. It's pretty decent paint, used it a few times. A larger store should carry/mix it. |

There's a place on center street I think called LDI that sells color matched paint. If you have the code or if you take the car, they have a special camera that can match the paint. _________________

LDI is on Center street between Superior Linen and the motorcycle shop. You could also try Canyon Auto Paints out in Puyallup. They're kinda expensive though.
There used to be a guy out in Kent who would do it dirt cheap, but he was really flaky and I'm not sure he's even still in business. His shop was called "Custom Carriage Auto Paints" or something like that. |
