cmolinaro78 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Guys, Are there any recommended sites to pick up touch up paint or is it best to go strictly thru the dealer? Someone decided to side swipe the bumper of my white SGT this evening at the food store and believe touch up paint will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with the Ford touch up pen , as you can depend on a good colour match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007_Shelby_GT Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I purchased a touch-up pen from my local Ford dealer. (actually a small pen and brush combo, but the paint matches perfectly) When I scuffed up the front air dam, I found some DupliColor rattle-can "Performance White" that also matched perfectly. Guess it depends on how big the "oops" is! I've filled in dings the size of a dime with the pen/brush, then used 1000 grit sandpaper to smooth things offf, followed by polishing compound and a good coat of wax. When it came to the air dam, I pulled off the front fascia and only prep-sanded up to a body line, then masked and spray painted with the rattle-can. Followed that up with clear coat, then again used 1000 grit sandpaper to knock off any tape line and finished with the compound and wax. It's really tough to spot the repairs!

slbgtsc Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 by chance do you have the code for the silver stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0128 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 by chance do you have the code for the silver stripes? This is what I used, unbelievable results. I pretty sure the paint code is Satin Silver (TL) http://www.drcolorchip.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormeaston Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 White is one of the hardest colors to match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmolinaro78 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Probably the pen would be my best bet, I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
