Now to be a little helpful: I think the way the pros do it, is with blending... They match the color as best as possible, then blend it over the existing paint to make it hard/impossible for the human eye to see the difference. I don't think you're going to be able to just get some color matched touch-up paint, unless you've got a paint code for the color on the car. And even then, the pros would blend the color just in case there's a discrepancy in paint batches, and then clear-coat everything. |
I went to a shop today to get some paint... They used a goofy little device to decipher what color my car is. I guess the closest match is the seashell color from Volvo. They gave me some of that blended with some other silver. It matches my paint fairly well. ESPECIALLY for 10 bucks. Also, this isn't the normal touch up paint, it came in a 6 oz can. Now for the next question... Does anyone have any tips or tutorials on how to touch up paint? It's been a while since I have had to touch up a car. Thanks for anyone's help.
