Spray paint that matches to I/O - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As title suggests, what is the spray paint that most closely resembles the I/O paint? I have an I/O LS and am looking to paint the plastic rim covers of the stock steel wheelies. Help is appreciated thanks!

Good luck, you may want to have a local paint shop do it with the actual I/O paint.

Here you go. You can order spray cans, touch up paint, and some other options in all factory camaro colors. Simply enter the year make and model. http://www.paintscratch.com/

I would try:

to match your cars paint. Is I/O inferno orange?

Those sites are great! Thanks a lot guys. You think the spary can version of either or these 2 sites paints would be good for doing the calipers or no?

You wont get a perfect match as IOM is a 3 coat metallic paint. So its impossible to get it to match from a can.

Itll come close. Im not aiming for perfection cause I plan on getting new wheels at some point down the road.

No the calipers need a high heat paint, It will work as long as you dont use the brake's. LOL

It matched better than a so called painter did.

Use a dark color before you but on there paint.

bigwayne3000 · 02-01-2011, 05:24 PM

Ok I will thanks. Any tips on the type of primer or dark paint I should use?

I have an IOM with CGM stripes and used the CGM paint (cans) to paint my fog light bezels. The match was good. I also painted a few underhood parts with IOM...looked pretty good too. I painted my defusser also and it was looking good befoer the buffing but I switched directions and bought a GFX package via Craig's List at a price I could not resist.
