The paint code is inside the door jam like mill$ said and a gun cost alot of $$$ i spent over $500 on mine and i got a deal. but if you got the cash then get a sata they are the best but the cheapest is about 300-400. but they are worth every penny. i would just do a can though cause its cheaper.

i think im going to do to the 50$ tremclad way. It seems like the results people are getting are very good. But im not sure if tremclad will work on a fiberglass surface?

id use a gun...the outcome is so much nicer, but dont get the paint code out of the door cause theyll just mix up the paint according to the code and im more than positive ur paint has faded from the way it came factory....id take like ur gas cap or something and let someone mix the paint to the color of ur car....it looks tacky when paint doesnt match at all
