    Does any one know where I can get a can or two of body paint in spray cans? I have a set of Sport Mirrors for my Vista Cruiser and want them to match or be really close. :)

    Apparently your wagon is a shade of white. Even though the color has most likely changed over the years you should be able to go to most Auto Parts Stores, NAPA, Auto Zone, Etc. and find the correct color in those smaller cans with factory colors. Most have a small rack or section. Or maybe even an off the shelf regular spray paint might match close enough.
    If you are super picky there are many paint shops, again NAPA, where they can color match exactly. These of course cost way more.

    Tower paint ( www.apstowerpaint.com ) can put whatever color paint you want in a can.
    Or you can go to your local auto paint supply store get a pint of single stage paint mixed to match your car and use a Preval sprayer to paint it.
    A Preval is an aerosol sprayer that you can load with anything, paint, gel coat etc. and can be bought a paint supply stores or good hardware stores.
