Superformance Titanium Silver Chip Repair
From what i have gathered the SPF Ti silver is a Lamborghini color,
Specifically model year 2000 PPG Titanium Poly DBC 35989 OEM 210.600 Lamborghini What i am trying to find is a Dr color chip (US) or chipfixx (Canada ONLY for some reason) Kit to do some chip repairs? The Canadian kit lists the exact right color but they dont ship to the USA (Environment most likely as fixing hood chips is a significant problem here...) and the Drcolor chip doesn't list the color. Anyone know of a source for bootleg Canadian paint? Steve H 1764 |
Matching existing paint is always a great challenge. One option that you may want to consider is calling around your area to find a local auto parts store or automotive paint supplier that has the ability to custom mix paint. I have had really good results matching existing paint using this method. My local auto parts store will custom mix and load spray cans and or paint bottles. It's not inexpensive at $30 to $50 a spray can depending on the paint but the results have been outstanding. Over the years I have had them mix paint for using a paint code that I provided and I have also had them mix paint using a specialty camera that adjusted the mix to match the condition of the existing paint. Again, outstanding results every time and my go to solution for paint repairs. Also, when they mix the paint and load the spray can many times there is some excess paint. Make sure you ask them if they will put any excess paint in touch up bottle for you.

Call Hillbank. They may have the paint in stock. You might have to buy a quantity (e.g., pint or quart) instead of a touch up stick.
I took a big rock chip on my driver door. My CSX was built by HST. I called them and not only did they have the right paint but they had MY paint!!! (Same can as was used to paint it originally.) I shipped the door to them and I couldn't tell it was ever touched. |
I have a small can of the correct paint, but the kits have some magic ? Elixir that allows you to blob on paint then wipe away excess with some sort of solvent?
I'm not sure what the paint is that I have in terms of type... |
My problem areas are around the headlights

My attempts at touch up look pretty bad, I'm scared to go at it with abrasives and make a big mess. I like the dr color chip method: https://youtu.be/-AcXcFDvqCs |

Yes, metallic paints, I don't like them myself.
Impossible to paint match my touchup, needs to be sprayed. That's why my last 9 cars have been solid colours. |
Agree
