Arrow Touch Up Paint?

I am looking to find a place where I can have touch up paint matched to my car. I have alot of chips, scratches, etc that I plan on fixing, but I haven't been able to locate a place that can match paint for me. Any ideas?

TIA

Hey Conor,

<a href="http://www.paintscratch.com" target="_blank">paintscratch.com</a>

I bought aerosol cans from them to paint my 951 rear valence. Perfect match. A bit pricy but worth it IMO.

I work for a bodyshop supply co. and we make touch up bottles (2oz.)for about $10 and we custom fill aerosols for about $20.Check your local auto paint store they may sell these as well.

Thanks for the links. I've seen both of those, but i'm not sure if my car is exactly guards red. It was repainted so i suspect if is a few shades off, that is why I want to get the paint matched. I will check with a local body shop, though, maybe they can tell me where to go.

Thanks!

Chris, LOL - are you joking? Does she ever wonder why she runs out?

When I was at the hobby shop buying the Testors translucent red to do my tail lights I noticed that Model Masters, which I think is Testors high end spray paint, had a color called Guards Red.
