Title: Regatta Blue Touchup
Post by: rshingler on June 07, 2011, 03:13:32 PM
Hello all,

My 86 TC paint needs some small spots fixed. I'm planning on painting it this winter but don't want the surface rust to get worst. My questions is has anyone found a car color (spray can) from manufacturers that is close?

A good automotive paint supply store can ghost image (they take afancy camera and and a computer tells what tints are in it) the paint and make you a rattle can, single stage

Found this site that pre-mixes any color based on your car make, color, and year. Ordered two cans. ($21 per can).
