Where can I find pink enamel paint?

Question

Preferably, spray paint. I want to paint my lock for my school lockers pink but I need enamel paint so it won't come off. I already tried Michaels. Where else can I try?

Answer 1

Hi:

Try any paint store such Sherman Williams or Benjamin Moore or your Local hardware stor for this. Bring the pink shade you want and they can mix it for you. or try mix a small amount of red enamel paint to a large amount like two drops of red to 10 drops of white paint then keep add the red until it the right shade of pink for you.( be sure to by a the smallest of paints you can buy for this). Then use a measureing cup and a empty can Pour the white in the can first { for this example a 4 red to 10 white ratio or 2 to 5 ratio here } pour five unit of white in the can. Wash and wipe ; the measuring cup until it completely clean and not a speck of white paint can be found on it, than pour in two units of red paint in the measuring cup and dump it into the white in the can , Making sure all the red is in the white, Mix completely and your ready to go. Then Wash and wipe ; the mixing can The measuring cup until it completely clean along with the paint brush roller, side trimmer...etc allow the paint to dry over night and your done.




Hope this helps

Try a hardware store with a good paint section. In West Los Angeles, there is a store called Anawalt and in the paint section, they have a machine that uses a computer to mix any shade of paint you want.

Find a store with a similar machine (they should be pretty common) and just bring in a sample paint chip of the color you want. the computer scanner reads the paint color and will mix the exact color for you. You just buy a small can of white enamel and they inject the colors needed to create the shade you want and it stirs it in for you.

It's a pretty cool system if you can find it.

It's like the first one on the webpage (see the can of paint)

Try a good model / hobby shop. Testors has a pink gloss available in both enamel and lacquer:

Just FYI, the color is "Panther Pink"... as is this car: http://www.epicdiecast.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=296

REMEMBER to mask off the lock or dial !!

Good Luck

Your best choice would be Lowes or Home Depot. I'm 100% sure they have it. Just go to the paint area and ask somebody there. Hope this helps.
