Default pewter paint

Where do you guys buy pewter paint from? I've bought some from paintscratch.com and it was great. The thing is I want to paint my new intake and don't want to wait two weeks for my paint, so where would be a good place to get some? I've looked in autozone but have never really seen any. does it go by a different name or do they mix paint in the store? would a hardware store have it? im just looking to get a rattle can of it thx for help

Autozone should have it all of the ones near me do anyway. Its mad by Dupli Color. Thhe number you need for the rattle can is T408 That is the 11oz Truck and Suv can. Its the same as the Light Pewter Metallic. I have used it on several things on my car with great success.

Just remember to use the primer filler otherwise odd as it may sound the pewter tends to be VERY highly metallic and doesnt match nearly was well.

yup used the filler primer, let that dry over night. That was after I put on a few coats of adhesion promoter. i started applying the base about an hour ago. the damn nozzle has clogged about 4 times already. good thing i had a few extra's lying around.
