whazen1 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Does anybody know where to get touch up paint for my torch red GT500? None of the auto parts stores even list the color. Most carry duplicolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whazen1 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I was hoping somewhere else might be a bit less expensive than the $15.00 or $20.00 they will probably charge. If nobody else has it, I will go to the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nobody else has it, I will go to the dealer. Sorry, only reliable good color match I have found was the Ford Parts counter. I picked some up for $11.21 Canadian including tax. Not bad for a good match. Cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esc Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have seen oem (i.e. Ford Brand) touch up paint on ebay before. You might give that a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelby111 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 No dings yet but I was wondering if any of those scratch remover products work well like they do in the TV ads? My past touch-up jobs on other cars were less then perfict? Any other proven methods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whazen1 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 The color is torch red Code D3. I ordered it from the dealer so should have it this week. I was washing the car and put the windshield wipers up. When I got done I opened the hood without thinking about the wipers. It put a scratch on the edge of the rear hood. Nobody but me can see it but I need to fix it as there are no scratches on my car. Hopefully it will work out good. Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply thetouch up paint system with a fine tipped hobbiest brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
