Default Touch up paint

My 76 with the color 72L has a spot I cleaned up but I am having a hard time finding the matching color in dupli. I have the agm0571 called metallic red but it does not match. Any ideas?

Go to Automotivetouchup.com

They have an assume system to match factory color and you can also send them something, some piece that has your paint on it for a match. For technical information on paint codes : paintref.com
GM official code for the one Red Corvette had in 76 is WA4460.

Let us know if you need more help.

PS, Forget Duplicolor. They’re not what they use to be.

Go to your nearest body shop they can mix any item! This way you do not have to wait for product that you need.
