touch up paint did you try a local auto body supply store, they should be able to take a photo of your paint and be able to mix it, can do in spray cans, and touch up bottles and more if you need to I am using CAR QUEST here in MAINE for this, hope this helps, 37Ragtopman

Sherwin Williams photoed a color in my 1972 buick Skylark, mixed it , paid about $25; went home, brushed it on (it left brush marks) it dried in about an hour or two- SMOOTH AS SATIN!!! ( it looked like it was sprayed!!!)And it MATCHED PERFECTLY!!!!! Regards, Steve Lee

Chasgrey, I would never consider buying touch up paint from any place BUT a local supplier that can match your car. Find a reputable place in your area and if at all possible, bring them a small piece of the car. The cowl vent lid comes to mind. If they have talent, they should be able to match it darn near perfectly. Usually there is a minimum amount required, typically a half pint. It isn't $25 anymore and hasn't been for 25 or more years. A half pint, custom mixed, probably closer to $75 or even a hundred. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

My '47 was stripped and repainted but I don't know what kind of paint was applied. It appears that one or more clear coats were applied. Does the type for existing paint affect the success of blending-in a repair paint ?

My biggest fear would be applying a non-compatible chemical to your existing paint. So yes, there are serious considerations to factor in. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

If you added your general location to your profile someone might suggest a local source that could mix to match your truck.
