I tried asking this last week on the oval forum, no luck. I figure there is more traffic on this side and thus worth a try. Yes I searched the forums, no luck there.
Anybody knows of a good over the counter (Home Depot, Lowes type) color match for L567 Ivory? I need it for my steering wheel. Also L82 Silver White, which I think is the correct match for my rims (black and white, '55). I'm in Alaska, I have a hard time getting spray cans shipped over here. |

In the Body/Paint section folks have said Krylon Dover white is a close match for L82. I haven't found anything specifically for an L567 match.

Check auto body supply stores? Most here on the East coast can mix rattle cans for you. If not a preval sprayer and a pint of mixed paint works well.

I used '05+ GM Heron White for my bus L82 silver white parts and am very happy with the results and color match to OG paint parts i had to compare to. I used a preval sprayer with dupont 2k urethane mixed up and am way happier than the rattle cans. warming up the paint in the jar helps alot in keeping it spraying well.
