Hi,
I have been trying to get a touch up spray paint for my 00solara with silverstream opelescent (1c4).
Duplicolor doesnt make it, plastikote doesnt make it and i dont know what to do :cry:

what are my options?
i hate the non spray touch up paints, they dont do a good job, i just need some paint to cover some scratches on my rear bumper.

help help...

I bought touch up paint for my car at my Toyota dealership. Try yours, go to the parts/service department.

I just went to a highly recommended place for paint near where I live in Frederick, Maryland. They matched up some interior paint for me. I couldn't find a good match for the ivory color at any of the automotive parts stores. They can mix any paint and put it in a spray can. If anyone else is looking for it, contact them. They said they would put it in their computer so the mix would be an easy lookup. Exterior paint shoud actually be easier for them. They can just look up the code.

It wasnt spray paint but touch up paint, its a little canister with a brush attached to its top. You apply this to wherever you need it, usually for rock chips on the front bumper. The color matches the car, you need to look for the color code# on the driver side door, you can see this by opening your door and looking at the white square sticker on the side panel. There's a color code number for your car and that will match with the touch paint you need. It costs $8. Go to your Toyota Dealer and they will help you out with this.

for what its worth, toyota now has touch up paint pens.
very useful if the car only needs a dot or a small scratch/nick. the brushes have a tendency to apply way too much to small areas.

yeah, i saw that too, but its not as good as spray. it shows. :cry:

Outstanding guys who can custom match anything. You can order based on you factory code, or send them a sample (gas cap) and they will custom mix it for you.
A bit expensive, but good stuff.

I ended-up buying a small spray bottle from Home Depot for about $10. Planning to fill it up with touch-up paint from the small canisters they sell at toyota. I just hate how the brush leaves marks...

Will try it probably next weekend on my bumper and will let you know the results. the thing is, I've not painted cars, so I don't know how to best apply it (other than not overspray to prevent drips)...
