[Boatanchors] Matching BA paint

[jeremy-ca]

I have all my paint matching done at a local auto parts store that also has 
an autobody supplies section. Ive always had excellent results with PPG 
paints even if they are more expensive than SW or Home Depot.

Spray can loading prices have skyrocketed recently and they dont deliver a 
clean pattern for long. I use a small touch-up HVLP spray gun and a small 
pancake compressor for small items such as cabinets. HVLP has minimal 
overspray and the smell is way down as compared to rattle cans, so I can do 
my work in the home garage without complaints. For big items I get chased to 
my auto restoration shop with the big compressor and HVLP gun.
