Hey guys,

Looking for a good source of touch up paint to fix some dings. What do you suggest?

Guards Red 89

911Jetta

I've had great luck with Dr. Colorchip:

I've read about a few people using that. Were do I find my color code?

DobermanDad

Found it.

This look right?

In the frunk, by the brake fluid reservoir. (under the carpet)

It matched with a code they had for my car.

For Guards Red they list: 80K/G1/G8/25/027/LM3A

Nice! Thank you. I'll check that out. Didn't even know that was there.


Good video:

911Jetta

Given it's Guards Red (common color and a single stage paint), also search Pelican to see what experience others have had with Dr. Color.

Or ask Larry!

another alternative is go to a body shop and see if they can mix some up for you. This way they can also tint the paint to make it match perfectly.

Another great source is http://www.automotivetouchup.com/. You can get it in small amounts for touch-up, or in a spray can to redo larger areas, like lower panels, bumpers, etc.

Great! Thank you guys

I have used both Dr Color chip and Scratch wizard.
I have had good luck with both. Scratch wizard has a kit for deeper scratches and larger areas.
They both have good match and very helpful video's on youtube.
highly suggest video's.

Has anyone with an Amazon Green car used any of these touch up paint options with success? I have a few chips and am worried that Amazon Green will be a tough color to match.
