Put your year and model at the top. Next page select svx.
Then proceed to "secure order". You don't "have" to order of course, but the prices are there.

They have the exact color for your year SVX in:

Paint Pen
Spray Can
Pint Containers
Quart Containers
Gallon Containers

To hijack his thread sorry..

How much paint does it take to paint an SVX? Same color.

Significant Technical Input
Personally, I'd plan on 5-6 qts. Don't forget that clear needs to be applied afterwards, it's what protects the color coat. New formulations don't provide the protection that the clear coat does.

Call around for prices. All paint vendors can supply any color. Best bet: talk to the more reputable paint shops in your area for what they consider to be the best and paint and supplier in your area. If you don't want to spend all the money for the best they can recommend what will probably be the best for what you're willing to spend.

6 quarts... Wow... With Paintscratch.com, and going the cheaper "by the gallon rate", that would run $800 in paint and clearcoat.

Better call Maaco!!!
