Kostamojen Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I need to fix up the rust spots here soon on the 78 wagon im getting, any tips on where to find/get touch up paint? I presume it will have to be custom mixed, and isnt sold in bottles anymore, and I probably need ALOT more than just the little touch up sticks have... LOL! The paint on the car otherwise is fine, just a few spots that stick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Just goto your local Autobody Paint shop and give them the paint code for your car. They should be able to supply you with more then enough for doing touch-ups. It won't be a perfect match to what's on your car but close enough for what you need.

Caboobaroo Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 There's a color code badge on the core support just to the left of the hood latch. If you know a place down there that can mix auto paints, take that number to them and tell them what car, year, etc. and they should be able to mix you up a batch. If I was near my wagon right now, I could tell you what the number is but its about 20 miles away. But yeah, find a place that specializes in auto paint and give them all the info and they should be able to mix you up a batch of paint. I hope this helps:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Do you guys mean like a Maaco, or someone with better paint? I know all about the paint code, no problemo there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 No not maaco, Look in your yellow pages for a local store that sells autobody paint and supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brus brother Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Unless you are going to paint your entire car, I've been told that pro paint shops have a sampling "gun" that works similar to how Home Depot/Lowes matches paint color. This will take into account matching old faded paint. P.S. Rustoleum white works great on my 90 Loyale. I use it on a monthly basis to touch up rust spots kinda like acne coverup cream.
