Where's a good place to buy paint?
« on: 31 August 2007, 11:12 »
I've got some bits of rust on my driver's door.  It's basically underneath the plastic trim, so fairly well hidden, but of course I want rid of it!  I'm planning to take the trim off, use a wire brush on a drill or something to (carefully!) take off the nasty bubbled bits, sand down a load, prime and paint again.  I need some paint that matches mine, so do I have any options apart from the VW dealers?  I guess any old metal paint primer will do for the primer, but am I stuck with having to get a can from VW?  and how much do they charge for a rattlecan anyhoo?

I bought a pot of touch-up a while ago, but can't remember how much it was now...

then I just have to figure out how to deal with the bottom corner of the driver's door that's basically completely rusted through..  :sad:
