Does anybody here know a company that makes touch up paint in #167 Gray Metallic for an 88-91 Supra in an aerosol can?
Looking for touch up paint

I have gotten touch up in an aerosol. I would guess that you can't find anything locally? If you can't, and no one here knows, call a couple of local body shops. someone there may know. Hope this helps a bit.

Metallic paints are going to be hard to match because when you lay the paint the flake will aly a certain way. I have never seen a metallic touch up that you couldn't spot from a ways off when the sun hit's it just right. I used to paint cars, so I think that makes me more likely to notice something like that. This is just my opinion, there is a reason it is free.
hahah i found it

Thanks turbo4life... I'm looking for a bit more, because I have more than a few little nicks to take care of... I am going to be repainting the bottom corner of my door, and maybe a door handle...
Also, supramacist, what would you suggest for redoing the clear coat on the hood of my car and the top of the fenders?

Guys NAPA is your friend. They mixed a small thing of touch up paint for me after a can of peaches fell out of my grocery bag and hit my spoiler. (dont ask). Also they can put whatever color you need into a spray can single stage or base clear.
before you even start sanding, tape everything off. Lay twice as much tape around the area's to be sanded. Sand with atleast 400. You don't want to have to spend an ass load of time sanding. If you start with an 80 grit you will have to work up to the 400 grit in grades. If I had to get my hood re cleared, I would find someone with a booth and pay for it. Your hood needs to be done right. You can probably do the tops of your fendrs yourself, especially if you can follow the lines of the car. You are going to have do a bit larger area than you can just see to help all of it to blend. I would only spray paint the hood with a clear if I thought honestly I could pull it off. I have seen people do this. Some of them look like ass and some aren't to bad. You can probably get any body shop to do your hood for clost, and this is a guess, for 250$. Thr bottom driver side of my rear bumper had paint flaking off of it, I touched it all up after scuffing with scotchbrite with spray paint. My ride is white. Nothing really shows up until you are right up on it. Black is known for being one of the more noticable for blemishes. You have nothing to loose by trying it and seeing iff you don't end up kicking yourself for doing it. If you are just black/ straight black / no metallic or anything I wouldn't worry about making the paint match. Black is usually always black. Kinda like white has shades, but you can always find a krylon in white that'll do the trick. Go from front to back with your paint stroke. Not side to side or it'll be extremely noticable. Hope this helps.
you said gray metallic, I had to scroll back. Yes, I would try to get this matched. N.A.P.A is a dying breed of auto parts store. I found one here and got all warm and fuzzy inside only to find out they had closed down.

Ya.. we have a napa in my town, I'll see if I can get some colour matched paint for it... I went to look at the car again today (dont have it at my house)... and the ding on the door looks like it could almost be fixed with that touch up brush paint with the ball point end.. very small scratches, we'll see after the dent is fixed. I might have to respray the replacement fender I bought off this forum, I'm hoping it's the same colour.
A friend of mine's dad paints cars for a living, so I might get a really good deal on the clear.. If it's really cheap I'll get him to fix the dent and respray the areas that need it (rust is starting by the front windshield so I'll get that fixed if I respray the whole car)... then it'll be perfect.
when I still had my stock paint it was dark blue pearl 8E3 paint code and I got some touch up in an arosol for 50$ with clear from paintscratch.com, and it was a perfect match

I went to napa yesterday and they told me they could colourmatch the gray metallic paint (167)... It will only cost $25 Can in an aerosol can.. plus cost of a can of clear.
I'm looking forward to trying it out!
