Best touch-up paint sources

• Dupli-Color: A popular choice for DIYers, Dupli-Color offers a wide range of colors in spray cans, pens, and brush-in-bottle applicators.
• AutomotiveTouchup: This company specializes in custom-mixed touch-up paint that is guaranteed to match your vehicle's factory color.

How to use touch-up paint

1. Clean the area: Make sure the area to be painted is clean and free of dirt, grease, and wax.
2. Primer: Apply a thin coat of primer to the area. This will help the paint adhere to the surface and prevent rust.
3. Base coat: Apply the base coat in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
4. Clear coat: Apply a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Pearl and tri-coat paints can be tricky to match. Here are a few tips:

• Use a spray-out card: A spray-out card is a small card that you can use to test the color of the paint before you apply it to your vehicle.
• Blend the paint: When you are applying the paint, be sure to blend it into the surrounding area. This will help to create a seamless transition between the new and old paint.
• Use a high-quality clear coat: A high-quality clear coat will help to protect the paint and give it a deep, rich shine.
