Where to get orig color spray paint?
 
Hi all, I am curious if any of you know where to get (or if any of you board vendors carry) original color spray paint. I will need to look at the paint code, but mine was repainted in the original Ochre. Or, 'Georgia State Yellow' as the guy I got it from said :) The interior is original, and other than being just a tiny shade darker that the outside newer paint it is about spot on.

I would like to get a can or two for touchups, so if any of you know of someone who carries this (or if you board vendors sell this) please let me know.

Thanks!:chevy:

You can get original color paint mixed and put into a "shake and spray" can at your local professional auto paint store for about $15 per can. This is the least expensive way to do large touch-up. You might want to take the original paint down a bit with 600-800 grit to get closer to remove the top oxidized layer so your new paint will blend better. Then you might just have to buff the rest of truck to blend it all together...just slightly more work with a foam buffing pad on your buffer. Good Luck!

What else did the guy who sold it to you tell you.I ain`t no Georgia State Yeller anywho.
I take the glovebox to to the auto paint supply and get a rattle can made up,as suggested above.

He said some guy named Special K was secretly a Georgia State fan who hides it....at the time I didn't know what he was talking about. Heh I kid, I kid ;)

You guys rock, thanks again for the help!

This is where I got my touch-up paint from. It was spot-on.

No problem...they are pricey though. At $25 a spray can, I might have to look into what stllookn and SK recommended!
