The other day I went to Wal-Mart and Auto-Zone looking for some touch-up paint for my car. All I could find was Candy Apple Red, bought a small tube of this and did some on some rock chips on my lower rear quarters. After putting it on it looked real good,an hour or so later when it dried,it looked real noticeable,way to light.... Got into my 17 year old daughters nail paint and polish kit and found a perfect match,sorry lable was unreadable,but with the little brush it is really easy to apply and looks real good....
Never thought of it,but would and will recommend to all getting ready to paint a vehicle,do this; take an empty nail polish bottle or empty one and wash it out real good as well as the brush,then give it to your painter and ask him to fill it up with the paint BEFORE he thins it out and paints your car,now you have the exact color and applicator for touch-ups... Wish I had done that with my car and I worked in a body shop 14 years and never thought of it,guess having all that paint around me ,thought I'd just mix some more when needed....
