Touch up Paint

Yahoo Message Number: 14240
Is there somewhere that has touch up paint in small quantities?

Have the paint codes and I'm afraid of the paint store prices.

I have the racing red paint package on 2008 Seneca ZX.

On our 08 I had to go to a Sherwin Williams Auto Finish store to get paint and yes it's not cheap. The problem is Carrera used various finishes. Ours was Chev, Ford from older years along with the original cab color.

Many automotive paint stores can make up a spray can with custom mixed paint, about $15-20 I think for a can. Not sure if you can get less than a quart in normal cans. That would also require spray gun and the associated reducers and hardeners. Then clear coat. That is the typical base coat/clear coat or what is called two stage. The base is dull until the clear goes on. You might be able to get single stage color that does not require clear coat, or the hardeners. More like the small touch up paint. The important thing is you have the codes, so just go to a paint store and see what they can do for you.

I've done some research on the Touch Up paint issue and found the following-

FormulaExpress.com for those with Sherwin Williams Paint http://sw.formulaexpress.com/
If you have codes your lucky. This site MAY help in researching unknown codes or color names.

PaintScratch.com http://www.paintscratch.com/paint-colors.html They have a data base of paint colors and can match back by vehicle model.
***They also sell touch up sized bottles, rattle cans of paint.***

Paintref.com http://paintref.com/paintref/index.shtml A look up site for paint codes/colors. This site will tell you what manufacturer used the paint code on what vehicle.

http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ Sells touch up paint by Manufacturer and model.

Hope this helps anyone searching for paint...
