i need to do a small touch up on my jl '59 impala soft top...it is the copper/orange color i am looking for...just a little ding in the paint,from a crash...any ideas on a good source for color correct touch up paint that will match the factory paint and not be too obvious?

is it orange pearl?

buy another for about 3 bucks, its easier and cheaper

is it orange pearl?

guess so.sounds right.if i could easily buy these here,i would,but don't feel like waiting for another one in the mail...gotta understand,NOBODY carries ho stuff up here...vhtf to say the least,thought nail polish maybe?but would that be corrosive?

Up here? Are you Santa and live in the North Pole or are you talking about Canada?

Anyways just get some flat white and touch it up and then hit it with a little Future Floor Covering to give its gloss look back. Plus the Future will protect your car from "future" chips hapening. You can build up the Flat White and control it better than with Gloss white model paints.

You can drop a bit in the chip but, it will shrink after it dries.

The 3 buck deal-e-O is that they sell on Pay Bay for 3 ducks a piece. I admire you dedication to keeping a cool Chevy slot car looking good. :)

Bob...you have nothing to loose...zilla

well,bob i guess i got ripped off cause i paid 20 plus shipping for my two impalas!

The bodies turn up here once in a while.. Check with T-Jet racer.. He sells them for about that price when he has them.. Or if you have a hobby shop locally, I would bring the body with you, and see if you can match up the color with their paint selection. Testor's Florida Orange Pearl I think too dark.. That is the color I spattered on the VW bus seen in the LED thread..

yeah,i just mixed some testors silver and orange together works good enough for a runner...
