Where can I find OEM Paint for touchups?

chris91LX · 02-16-2001, 06:55 PM

I'm looking for an aerosol can of my factory color to touch up some small rust spots and the underside of my hood. I found some at a place about 6 years ago for another car but I have no idea who they were. I couldn't get hold of the parts dept. at the local Ford Dealer (probably an emergency at the water cooler and donut box), and the guy at Auto Zone didn't exactly instill me with confidence that he knew what he was talking about. Anyone know a good place to find this? My paint code is EP if it helps.

Go to a local body shop & have them mix your color in acrylic eurathane, they can mix it in small amounts (as small as you want, my dad said for you to bring a pill bottle for them to fill, probably around $5-10, he owns & manages a body shop) so dont buy a quart if they say thats how much they will mix, it is all electronically measured so they can mix small amounts. some shop[s will gie it to you for free, hoping you will be a future customer.
hope this helps!!

oh yeah, i dont think they make aerosol cans of the paint anymore.you will probablyhave to brush it on unless you want to pay someone to spray it.

The aerosol cans your looking for can be found at Schucks/Kragen/Checker auto parts store. I'm not sure which one of these stores are in your area. The brand name of the cans is Dupli-color. The store will have a color chart so you'll be sure to get the correct shade.
