Has anyone purchased any touch up paint or paint kits and if so what brand and how was the color match. I have a few small chips around the front that I can't justify getting a full paint job for.
Thanks.

I've been pretty lucky eyeballing paints to match over the years. I look up the color code on http://paintscratch.com
Thanks Carnuck. I'd found that sight in my searches. Cool how they recommend all the extra stuff one would need but typically forget about.

My eagle has mocha brown i was able to get it mixed up and made at carquest. I gave them my code after they told me where to look for it. I forget where that is however. Maybe try a local shop.
For touch up paint, I have used acrylic enamel mixed to match the AMC paint codes at my local auto body supply. From what I understand, OEM touch up paint is lacquer based. I am looking into the Langka kit that uses a special "Blob Eliminator" that allows you to simply wipe the touch up paint blob until it becomes even with the surrounding paint. I hear good things. I contacted the company and they said the blob eliminator could be used with acrylic enamel paint, but to give it a longer drying time and possibly dilute the BE 1:1 with water. That is my plan. I have a ton of chips in the strangest places and I can't imagine wet sanding them all out.
If I understand correctly the Lankga stuff is only intended for use on a car with a urethane two stage (clear coated) surface.
I was wondering that but they say any car after 1965 will be safe.
