Title: Color Matching
Post by: Don Malpas on October 16, 2020, 11:56:17 am
I would like to touch up some places on our 13-year old sun-faded rig.
Using the original color code would not work.

I have heard you can get rattle cans of paint matched to a supplied sample.
I can not Google who does this. Do you start with local paint shops or what?

I am not contemplating a $25,000 paint job. Close will win the cigar.

Good vehicle repairs shops have color matching machines; however, doubt that they would want to provide this service for only a few $.

In the following threads, I mention how to have color matched paint mixed and put into spray cans.

Paint matching (https://www.lazydazeowners.com/index.php?topic=27183.msg147360#msg147360)

The Spray Max paint, with proper prep, looks original and is durable.  It does require closely following the safety recomendatons and the use of a high-quality, organic filter mask.
