Black Fender Touch up paint or Color Code
Need to touch up some scratches on my 31 Cabriolet. I see the paint colors and code on the mafca website [URL="https://mafca.org/tqa_paint_codes.html"]
But can't find the black fender code though. Anyone know it or where to get a good match to this common black? |

I don't know any paint codes, but just picked up Testors gloss black from an RC hobby store. Looks pretty darn close (unnoticed) for my 30..

I had some POR15 left over from a different project. I took a little brush and lightly touched up some areas with success.

Rustoleum gloss black works for me.

Re: Black Fender Touch up paint or Color Code
Rustoleum, use a tiny hobby brush to apply in several layers to build up.

Re: Black Fender Touch up paint or Color Code
Painters in my area recommend using a striping brush for touch ups. For black, I prefer PPG Concept. There are a number of tips for doing touch ups, including a light sanding of the edges surrounding the scratch, multiple coats of finish coat to build up the surface, and then a final light water-sanding with something like a 2000 grit sandpaper. My concerns with lesser grade paints would be that they would become more evident after a few years.

Re: Black Fender Touch up paint or Color Code
I use Chrysler DX8 black. it's one of the blackess blacks. Has a touch of blue in it. Blacks have many different casts depending on who's making it. Red, Green,Yellow, Blue, Grey, etc. As I learn't from experience.

Gloss Black POR 15 is not UV protected and will fade out.
Painted my frame and the exposed portions faded over a short period of time. Testors worked on my sedan. DuPont 99A Pitch Black is also popular

Re: Black Fender Touch up paint or Color Code
There are many shades of black so you might accept a close touch up, or take it to a paint shop and have them match the color and have a pint or quart made for you.
I was lucky enough that the last owner put down in the cars log book the color brand and codes to my Maroon and Black. Regards Bill |

Re: Black Fender Touch up paint or Color Code
Thanks to all. Reminds me of the saying in construction; "Good enough for who it's for."
