My car is titanium/black, when I bought the car the PO gave me a small bottle of Dupont Savage paint touch up kit, do you know where to buy it.

Will Superformance sale it?

I google but no luck

Thanks

Tan,

Here are the paint codes from the SPF owners forum site.

TITANIUM (Code LAM210600)

TONER GRAMS PER 1 Lt
D953 946.0
D952 1466.0
D772 1814.0
D740 1897.2
D743 1910.4

If you take the codes to a auto paint store, they should be able to fix you up.

Kind of a delayed followup, but I thought I'd tack onto this thread instead of starting a new one. I need a supply of touch-up basecoat and clearcoat - first to fix a small scrape on the oil cooler shroud, and then to have on hand. I ass/u/me the original owner got some touch-up paint but it didn't make it to me, and would be ~3 years old anyway.

So I looked online and found this place: www.paintscratch.com. Searching did no good, but I looked through the paperwork and found the original body shop invoice, with a paint ID sticker attached. I entered the code (610.600) and back came the match for Lamborghini Titiano. (Which is kind of cool because the car was sold to me as being "Lamborghini Silver"... it's actually "Lamborghini Titanium"!)

I suppose any local auto paint shop could do the job as well but if you don't have a quality supplier handy, or like the convenience of email, these guys are out there. 2 ounces of base plus two ounces of clear plus a couple of minor things plus shipping was $42 or so.

East-Bay color should be able to help. -- if not a capable body shop should be able to mix a small batch.

I had some extra paint, so I ended up bottling some up and giving it to Tan.

One of these days, I'll have to do some touch up on my car...or maybe I'll just roll with the patina.

I got the packet from PaintScratch. Went out, did a little test stripe on a hidden part of the underhood. Arrgh... not even close, even after it was apparently dry.

Then, an hour later, it totally disappeared against the original color. VERY nice. (Okay, okay, I haven't sprayed lacquer for a while.) I can recommend these guys on all fronts.
