    I need to touch up some paint chips in an otherwise nice 1965 OT car. Anyone have personal experience with any of the Touch-Up Paints or paint systems out there? Thanks.

    The best is to go to a paint store or body shop and have a 1/2 pint made. This will cost a little more, but The only touch up paint that I have ever seen match was black.

    Thanks. I've got 2 o 3 spots each maybe 2mm in diameter, Doesn't seem like a pint is the best option.

    I also typically just have a 1/2 pint mixed up and have had good luck matching about any solid color. Most times, it can be sanded down and buffed to where no one ever sees it.

  6. Auto paint stores can mix touch up paint.

    if you have any hypo needles, we used them for high end touch up applicators.
