    I have a 2000 Legacy GT with some rust around the rear tail panel that I plan to neutralize and repaint, I also need to paint my new grill the OEM color. The internet has lead me to believe that you get better paint at a bodyshop by having them mix it in an aerosol can for you than you would buy online....

    Anyone have any advice about this or know where I can go about making that type of purchase in the TC area? I'm in S. Mpls and work in Eden Prairie. Thanks in advance...

    Napa can mix and put it in aerosol cans.

    Is the NAPA paint any better or worse than I'd get online or through a body shop?

    Welle Auto Supply in Hilltop or Blaine can do it also. Just need to tell them the model year and paint code and it takes about 15 minutes. $24/can IIRC. And i'm pretty sure that wherever you get it, it will be the same quality as they are going off of OEM specs/codes...but i could be wrong.
