touch up paint

[mishman]

I have a red 95 SHO, and I've been trying to find some touch up so that I can fix a few small things on the body, does anyone know where i can get it?

yep, advance auto parts. It's called Dupli-Color, and you want the "cardinal red", no. 306. It's good stuff. Autozone and wal-mart should also carry it.

I've tried several paints, even a bottle from the dealer. I've yet to find a perfect match.

It will never be a perfect match. Especially 10 year old paint. Ive been having the same problem for months now.

Even new, it never matched... The being reported from the previous owner. The Ford paint matches the engine bay paint, which is a different color code.

I can get the white touch up paint to match my older '92 just fine.

I've found an exact match for my red '97. It's Dupicolor Cherry Red in the rattle can. But how do you protect it like the OEM paint is? As soon as I get any kind of cleaner near it it dissolves or gets spots. I've tried the spray clear coat and it just fogs it all up?

I hate to paint cause a painter I ain't

This is some oxford white DFSM225 duplicolor rattlecan on the bumpercovers only. Its not a perfect match, but its not too too bad. Im about to redo it, but it dosent last without clearcoat. Ive been wondering if anyone has had any luck with clearcoating white with a rattlecan. Everytime Ive done it in the past I got yellowing after a couple days.

Some days you cant even tell the difference like in the pic below.

I want to get a proffesional paintjob, but Im afraid It will crack and get ruined due to flimsy bumper covers, and the fiberglass hood getting opened and closed all the time.

BTW, were 92's oxford white?? I know they discontinued it and then brought it back recently.
