Default Great Factory Matched Paint Resource

Hey everyone,

So, I'm in the process of preparing my internal engine cover for a paint project and found one of the most amazing sites for anything related to painting and color matching schemes for our rides. I just ordered quite a bit of supply of clear coat and factory matched paint for my project (which will likely graduate into painting some dash trim pieces for some improvement of the cockpit appearance) from www.automotivetouchup.com

They have great reference materials and instructions for any general project and provide just about every possible product you would need for any touch-up or major paint project on, or in, your vehicle.

Also, if you just need to find color codes for your factory paint, you can find it here.

Hope everyone finds this useful.

Yes, the plan is the black portion of the engine cover and the lettering on the gray section to be done in redline pearl, and then the remainder of the gray section in black. I'm thinking it will look pretty sick!

Good to know that I found a solid supplier. Thanks for the reassurance. I probably wouldn't use these products for anything on the actual external body of my ride, but internals should prove to be okay...cosmetically.

Thanks again Scott.
