  View original topic: color match L87 paint code
Erik G Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:36 pm

I lucked out and found a shop that will color match auto paint, and load it into spray cans, with a small minimum. I'm wanting to get OG L87 Pearl White, is it wasy for a shop to do, should I bring something in with the stock color, or should they be able to do it from the books (they carry all of the big brands, Glassurt, PPG etc) Do I just tell them what color?

It cost me $40 for 4 cans of the L87 Pearl White from my local automotive paint supply store. It was a minimum type charge. I used PPG Acrylic Enamel (DELSTAR) and the rattle can paint matched the other perfectly. I spray it in the plastic lid and use a match for scratch touch-up also. Works well.

cool, thanx guys, I just wet sanded a bunch of primer off of my only major dent area (rear corner) I probably wont do any dent repair till I can afford to get it done right, but I might do some bondo work so It looks halfway decent for Sac-a-rama. good to hear that the Delstar matched. I will probebly end up getting it as well
