Anybody have a good suggestion for finding touchup paint? I have tried local dealer, body shops and online.
My search is possibly easier since I'm looking for Hemi Orange. But so far, no luck.

THANKS! AJ

Original paint or repaint? A repaint would be easy if you could find out the brand then look up the mix. Old paint is a crap shoot, you could go to a body shop that uses PPG paints and have them mix up some 2186 it might match.

express paint can do what you want. however if you have sun faded, oxidized paint, that would have to be matched with one of those color cameras

My car is a repaint; Hemi Orange.
I thought I could just order a bottle of it online, if not locally..

The paint cameras are just a tool to get a experienced paint tinter close. They spit out a "known" formula that is close. Then the talented person is required. It may take some doing. But enough trips to local paint suppliers will get you what u are looking for.

What are you touching up Anthony. Scratches or chips. With base coat and clear coat make's it a problem to fade in paint. Like every one say's fade of the paint is the biggest problem. Have knocked chips out of my rocker on a ford I have and air brushed the area in and clear coated it after word's. It makes it a hard job but got close. Just on the rocker that is not seen that much. Did not like seeing primer their exposed. Good luck my friend.
