Default Where can you buy touch up paint to match?

I have a White 80 coupe and need some touch up paint for small pproblem areas. Where can I find rattle can touch up paint, or a touch up pen in the right color.

Thanks in advance,
Keith

When ever I get a new old car I have a local auto body supply store mix me up a pint of paint.If I need to spray some of it I get a preval sprayer.I've seen them at NAPA.I get mine from work.I used it before on the bumper extentions for my wifes Cadilac with very good results.

Good advice on getting paint "mixed". Those "touch up" pens are way off. All you need is the paint code off your vette.

It may be this:10 Classic White

Go to Paintscratch.com. They have great matches and will add flex additive if you are painting bumpers, etc.

I got some silver for my '78 and it was almost perfect.

My NAPA actually mixed me a 1/2 pint can of my paint for the same thing.
