what type of paint was used in the 80's on the 911?
For small paint and chip repair...something that will color match and blend nicely. What would the painters suggest? Not a full repaint... Rich |

Just get a sharpie that's about the same color. That way you can get it done and over with and get back to that cool topless 914 project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

It really doesn't matter what brand you use as long as the paint mixer is worth a damn. The better paint will be a better match but in the end, 1 ounce of too much pigment will throw the match off. Since I have switched to PPG I have found their matching to be spot on |

show us how bad it is...
I've gotten pretty good at filling chips, problem is when there are more than just a few, you are better off leaving it or respray... |

Most paint stores can mix a small amount of touchup paint you can brush on. Drive the car over to the paint store. They will help you get what you need.
I'm sure Glasurit was the factory finish but you don't need to go there. Get some laquer or enamel in a touch up bottle. Don't rush into blobbing paint all over the place. Take the time to use a good wash solvent and a Q-tip in every chip first. Then do it again. I had a customer bring in his black 911 after blobbing rock chips in with a brush. He wanted us to block and buff his hood and mirrors and save his factory finish. You could literally flick the paint blobs off with your finger nail exposing the white chalky speck of aged wax under the blob. There were so many chips we just stripped the hood and mirriors and repainting them. BTW: Metallic colors specially light metallic colors are difficult to brush touch. They often look like dark specs. Sometimes you need to play with the color until you get it closer. Then you can sand and buff to minimize the appearance.
