Best Touch-up Paint Sources
- Dupli-Color: Dupli-Color offers a wide variety of touch-up paint products, including pens, aerosol cans, and brush-in-bottle applicators. You can find Dupli-Color products at most auto parts stores.
- AutomotiveTouchup: AutomotiveTouchup is a leading online retailer of touch-up paint. They offer a custom-match service to ensure that you get the perfect color for your truck.
- Tcoat custom-mix: Tcoat is another online retailer that offers custom-mixed touch-up paint. They also offer a variety of other paint products, including primers, clear coats, and polishes.
- Dealer: Your local Freightliner dealer is always a good source for touch-up paint. They will be able to provide you with the exact color that you need for your truck.
How To Use Touch-up Paint
- Clean the area: Before you apply touch-up paint, it is important to clean the area thoroughly. This will help the paint to adhere properly.
- Primer: If the scratch is deep, you may need to apply a primer before you apply the touch-up paint. Primer will help the paint to adhere better and will also help to prevent rust.
- Base: Apply the touch-up paint in thin coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before you apply the next coat.
- Clear: Once the touch-up paint is dry, you can apply a clear coat. A clear coat will protect the paint and will give it a glossy finish.
Color Matching Tips For Pearls And Tri-coats
- Pearls: Pearl colors are made up of small particles of mica that reflect light. This can make them difficult to match. When you are matching a pearl color, it is important to use a light source that is similar to the light source that the truck will be in most of the time.
- Tri-coats: Tri-coats are made up of three layers of paint: a base coat, a mid coat, and a clear coat. The mid coat is what gives the tri-coat its unique color. When you are matching a tri-coat, it is important to use a mid coat that is the same color as the original mid coat.
