Default Duplicolor touch up paint

ok...i know what your thinkin...that stuff sucks...right?
well...i thought so too but i was really suprised at the results i got with it today as well as the darn near perfect color match...
my 79 has the pace car spoiler package and the front center peice was looking pretty bad so i took it off today...sanded it...primed it and shot it with Duplicolor and i was astonished at the quality...
they had my color...59L
i put 3 coats of Zymol wax on it and reinstalled it and it looks new...
just thought id pass it along...sorry i didnt take pix but to honest with you, i had no idea it would impress me that much :yesnod:

You got lucky. :) Most of that stuff is a "close" match at best. Chuck

while we are talking paint, i have a question.

My car was painted sometime before i bought it. The fiberglass looks really nice. But the other day i noticed a hockey puck size of a chip/flake on the rear bumber at the very bottom on the driver side. Any thoughts on what to patch it with.
