I need a good place to get paint for a 2000 Subaru Legacy Outback. The paint color is 444. I'm fixing some rust, so some spray paint is needed. Where online is a good place?

have you ever bought from this site? is it a good match?

House of Color has some darm good paint. It will most likely not match yours completely due to fade over the years. But I know one local body shop here that can match their paint to the faded apint of your car. You might see if any near you can do this. Then you can have the paint put in aerosol cans for the spraying.

I think you get house of kolor paints through the dealers who then blend the color you want. I've seen house of kolor used on many of the popular car shows on TV.

 

The only option to having the paint you want blended is to see if you can find a premix spray can at autozone or pepboys or elsewhere. Not sure what they have for Subaru. You can get the little containers of touch up paint at Subaru dealers.

 

HOK has lots of nice pictures on their Web site too. I really liked this one.

FWIW, I found that the spray cans I bought at the auto store were a very close match, even though the paint on my car is 10 years old. You have to look very closely and in perfect light to see any difference in the paint color. In fact, the only way that the repair sticks out is because of the mediocre bondo job I did that has a bit of texture to it.

 

Don't forget to prep the surface carefully and spray a coat or two of primer under your color coats, and then spray a bunch of clear coats on top.

Use some polishing compound (wax free) on the entire panel before you paint, to removve the oxidation. Then after the paint has WELL CURED, do it again to blend it in. THEN wax the whole thing to seal it.

 

It will look so good, you'll want to polish out and wax the whole car.
