Need Touch-up Paint
Where can I find some good touch-up paint for the factory color on my 1971 coupe? Ideally I’d like to have a pen or small applicator, just for touching up chips.
Thanks…

Many auto parts stores carry touch-up paint in pens or small bottles. To really get it right for an older car, stop by an automotive paint store. They have a color gun and can match it exactly. I use a cheapo model car paint brush for touchups and then toss it. $2 for a pack of 4.

I think www.paintscratch.com is a great source. I've picked up spray cans and touch up bottles for at least 10 of my vintage cars over the past 5-6 years, including 3 or 4 Vettes. A great match every time.

Remember, if the paint has been re-done, send them the brand and number of the paint used on the car, rather than the original GM color code.

I always go back to AutomotiveTouchup.com/. Their spray cans and 1/2 oz. bottles match the PPG Code 28 on my '80 perfectly.
