Hi! I'm a new member and just upgraded my membership liking this forum so much. Does anyone have an idea where to get touch up paint for the 1975 orange flame?




Thanks in advance for any response.

You can order touchup paint through some of the major vendors, (Corvettes America, Ecklers, Corvette Central etc). However, most of our Vettes have been repainted over the years. They didn't always get the color matched exactly. You're better to drive it to an automotive paint dealer and let them direct match it.

Beautiful car BTW. Does it have buckskin interior? Manual or automatic?

 

Leather in black and original. Interior is incredibly good actually. Automatic. Taken down to the bolts and redone. Rebuilt the engine from the block up. Put a dual plane high rise and a carb upgrade. New wiring harness, and all lines new. Right now she's pushing around 350-360 horse. Repaint but also did some ghost flames on the hood and rake to the trunk. Subtle until the sun hits it.

Thanks for the response. I think you're right and just find a good body shop in Atlanta.

 

Sorry that this is off of the paint issue. My high ac is blowing and saw threads about an orange wire which I think I found. Please if anyone can tell me what these two wires go to?

 

Beautiful car. I have the same year and color. My front and rear bumper covers crumbled away and were replace by the previous owner with replacements from a donor. They were never painted though which really made the car look horrible. I bought Orange flame paint in 12 oz aerosol cans from a place call Automotive Touch Up. You give them your car's paint code and they custom mix the paint in the vessel of your choosing. Pint, 12 oz aerosol, touchup pen etc. I sprayed both front and rear bumper covers and while the match isn't perfect, it is incredibly close and looks great. Good luck.
