Touch up paint

[123R-Prozak]

Evening..

Yesterday i headed over to Supercheap to find some touch up paint.. i would like the pen not the spray.. my paint code is 8p4... they dont have any...

went to autobarn and they didnt have any aswell.... they said its a 2pac paint that you have to get made up by someone... is this true???

And how much does a little can of this stuff cost to be made up.. i need some for my eyelids which im getting soon asewll.. how much paint will i need and does it have to be mixed with thinners ???

Help appreciated..

Daniel.

Give your paint code to your local Toyota dealer for some touch up paint - easy.

I bought some recently.. Was about $13 for 15ml.

You could also go to a scratch removal/smash repairer and ask them to colourcode your paint.

That way it'll match 100% - taking into consideration paint fade.

It'll cost a little bit more then your local toyota dealer but it'll match. Try and get the smash repairer to throw in a touch up pen or brush too.

In the end...is an extra 10 bucks not perfection?

Finally one said the code is only the colour but there is 5 different shades told me to go down the street to a touchup n paint shop.ull need 250ml cost 40-50. maybe it was just my colour or go to a automotive paint supplier they electronicly test it.

most colors have 3 or more shades because of different year models, and those electronic testers are garbage they only give you a very rough mix and you have to eye match it from there.
