Breath of fresh air.
Man, I had to re-register to get back in the groove, here. Long story - won't bore you with it. Been a while since I last posted - glad to be back.
Whoa, what's all this commotion about justification of breaking the law??? Sheesh! I have a Scooby-Q. Where does one get a can of paint that matches the Silverthorn Metallic (at least NEAR perfect), without going to the dealer for an overpriced can o' paint? I'm trying to paint the bottom of the front lip, where the wifey swears the parking barrier ran into her while she was parked, and burred it a little. Thanks for any suggestions! Keep the faith.

The USMB had a similar thread recently (before EZboard went down for maintenance)...
The touch-up paints that come from the dealership are only close matches if your car is white or black, nonmetallic. the rest of the touchup paints are kinda... inaccurate. Apparently, you can go to many local autoparts stores (CarQuest came up as one that would do a good job) with the year, make, model, and paint code # from your vehicle (located on the VIN information plate under the hood on most newer soobs) and they can make you a can of paint that is a VERY close match to the original paint. Hope this helps. |
