I was thinking the same thing about Napa. I use them all the time. When I looked up the location in his area, it looked like most of the stores had closed up.

Links and color chips are not the way to choose a color. They look different on a computer Or a very small paint chip than on a car. To the point of not even looking like the same color.

The 2 tone or shine effect is lost which is what makes and breaks some colors. Like it is a distinctly different color in the sun than when cloudy.

Once you find a color you like google it. The name of the color. Images of all different kinds of cars painted that color will pop up. Gives you a idea what it will look like on your car as opposed to the car it came on.

Look as you drive at the cars. When you see a color you like find out the make and year. My paint store has paint books in it. Find the year make and model. Get the number and then they mix it.

o i know what color i want. i know for a fact that dupli color has the color i want. and it paints really good. I am leaning heavy to the duli color paint shop. I bought a can of it just to test it out and it came out great! but i wanted to see what the name of the company they carry and what paints they do offer.
