Default Re: Where to get tough up paint?

If you're willing to put the time in, you can match your own quite well. Start with a close green, then put a drop on a card and hold it up to the car in the sunlight. Your eye should tell you if you need more black, blue, yellow etc. Keep mixing trial and error, but keep track of what you've done so you can replicate it again. Mix it in a very small batch, maybe an OZ or less. Takes time but for small amounts you can get it really close. When done put it in a small syringe with a cap on the needle end, then in ziplock. Also can store it in the refrigerator.
