touch-up paint
« on: March 09, 2009 - 05:38:49 PM »
Anybody know a good source to buy some Mopar color correct touch-up paint. I've purchased little bottles for my newer vehicles, but I've not seen any for Mopar colors such as B5 blue. I looked on the Year One site, but only saw spray paint. Also any tips for applying it over a scratch to make it look decent. I am no paint/body man by a long shot, so an suggestions here would be a plus. With my other "driver" vehicles, I really didn't care, just didn't want them to rust!! :smilielol:

If you can't find it anywhere else can try a body shop.  The guys who painted my truck said if I ever need to touch it up the can mix a little bottle up with the same paint code.

So the only way I can touch up some scratches on my paint is to buy a whole gallon of color correct expensive body paint?? There must be a better way to do this?? The body shop that painted my car is out of business. I just want to fix a few scratches. :dunno:

Go to where you get your automotive paint they usually have empty touchup bottles. They can mix 1/4 pint of paint and fill the empty.

You can get most of the colors from Totally Auto in Pa. I setup an account this week, and the lady told me that this is an automotive gfrade paint, so it needs about the same dryhing time. I need Top Banana, and she said that each 11oz can is about 12 or 13 bucks. They built a few cars that are in the Mopar magazines. I bought the grille paint argent silver from them, and was very happy.  :cheers:

Try this site, I think they have all the original 70's colors in spray, touchup bottle or paint pen.
