[Chevelle-list] First Paint Chip - Help on paint color

2005-06-26 Thread Kalsplace 



Hello Everyone,

Just got my first paint chip on the door. Yes someone at work 
or some place hit a classic car. So now I ask for your help.

I have a '64 El Camino, that the previous owner says has a Candy 
Apple Red paint job. He gave me a spray can for touch up paint, but 
is not right shade.

Can any one help in giving me tips to find a matching color touch up paint 
and best way to work on the chip.

Been thinking of putting on door guards, a bumper line down the side of the 
car, but have not seen a good one for that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kelly

If it's a true kandy paint job, you'll never match it.
If it's a solid color, take it to a local paint supply store, and they can 
use their machine to match the color.
good luck!
