Post Touch Up paint source?

Are there any sources to get touch up paints? I'm talking more than those little tubes. Those seem to dry up fast and no I don't have that many spots to touch up! LOL

Thanks

I asked a friend in the business for the best paint supplier in my town, then I had them mix me up a pint. It's a great match. Crystal Emerald Metalic. I usually shake it up then just use the lid and a toothpick. Of course,, don't forget to prep. That's Real important.

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

I've used them for touch-ups on my 85 with success. They have a few different sizes for various needs as well.

I bought a 2 oz. bottle of custom mixed paint for my Suburban, with a custom paint job, at a auto body supply store for $5. It has a marble in it to mix the paint when you shake it.

They also have a camera to take a picture of your paint if you have custom paint or faded paint.

The paint was an exact match.

Cool

Here is another company that produces what they claim are exact match touch up paint supplies:

ANBY Enterprises
4801 Nolansville Road
Nashville, TN 37211
615 315-0002

I have not used their products yet, but have ordered a couple of touch up bottles of meteormettalic for my 86.5; it will be interesting to know how well this product works. <img src="graemlins/wave.gif" border="0" alt="[byebye]" />
