I'm thinking about doing some minor paint work. The sticker has a paint code PX8 (black). Anyone know what type of paint was used at the factory. Acrylic Enamel? Urethane? Thanks.

Yeah PX8 is the same paint code on my truck. If you have a good sherwin williams automotive finishing store by you. Then that would be your best shot. I have painted many of cars with PPG, House of color, dupont, sherwin williams, and a few others. Sherwin williams and dupont are one of the most popular painting prody=ucts used by body shops. I use sherwin more than any of the others for factory repairs. If I am doing anything custom I use PPG,house of color with the candies, and stuff like that. I honestly think that you will have the better matching color if you go through sherwin williams. At least the store I go through is really good at matching the colors. You will be using and enamel based paint. More than likely a two stage basecoat / clearcoat. If you go through sherwin williams get the good stuff ultra7000 series material. Hopefully this helps you.

www.paintscratch.com matches exactly, in my experience. Comes in 12.5 oz spray cans, quarts and gallons. They have clearcoat as well as finish colors.
