Best place for canned touch up paint . I got some bad stuff

[johnmathies]

Who has the best quality spray can touch up paint . I bought some Yukon Yellow a few years back and it worked excellent . Forgot the company . This time I bought Low Voc Waterborne from Touch Up Direct . I can understand the color being off a bit . This paint did not dry . I could not wet and or sand between coats . It would smear . I finally babied this junk to the final stage . Put a tack coat on . Then flooded it for gloss . When it dried , the paint was matte (!!!) . 4 -5 days later it was like putty !!!!! Anyone know a good place . I've painted whole cars the right way so I know how paint should react .

Your local paint supply can put almost any color into a can.

Before one of our local O'Reilley parts stores added a paint shop, I used www.paintscratch.com with good results. They matched the Texas Yellow on my '72 SB convertible, and the Alfa Red on my '88 Alfa Romeo Spider.

I went with Automotivetouchup.com and I'm happy with the paint match. My car is L50D Sapphire Blue.

I've used both www.paintscratch.com and automotive touch up. Paintscratch offers single stage paint as well.

I have used this produkt to. With very good resultat. I used a brick instead of my finger to polish away the paint overflow. As the new color is softer than the old one.

I’ve ordered L456 Ruby Red from www.paintscratch.com on a couple of occasions and like that they are good with paint matching. However, lately I’ve noticed that the areas I’ve touched up are not keeping their gloss. Instead they have been turning flat after a year or two. Have you had any issues like this?
Bad batch, maybe? Anything I could do besides painting over with a glossy clear coat? My ’66 is not a trailer queen exactly, but a daily that I like to look close to stock from a few feet.
Suggestion? Newer products out there I could try?

They sell 2k paint in a spray can.
If you know the color name or paint code they can fix you right up.
I bought some from them and it actually matched my 20 year old paint.
They have a 2k clear in a can too.

I have had the best luck having my local O'rieleys mix me up paint.
