Pretty much as the topic states.
Also, I have lots of little chips and nicks, so I am looking for techniques to blend in the touch up so it looks good from about 5-10 feet away. All help is appreciated. Thanks!! |

I just went to the local auto paint supply store and gave them my paint code and they mixed a pint up for me while I waited.

Been there. Unfortunately, no Phoenix Red is listed. Should I call them? |

Got a tube of their touch-up paint for my Zambezi green 73 914 and the match was perfect and it is very easy to use.They send you a test sheet of glossy paper to try the color on and then hold next to your car if you are not satisfied they will take the paint back. |

Has anyone used their "Mar-Hyde One-Step Rust Converter" compared to POR-15? I wonder if their paints would work with POR-15. |

QUOTE It's there just type in 73 porsche and the color chart will come up with the color chip and paint code. Thanks Paul, I found it. They don't show the color for 74 for some reason. QUOTE Mar-Hyde is a Bondo product not Paint-Scratch maybe you are looking in the wrong website Hmm, they say "Follow this with Mar-Hyde One-Step Rust Converter (sold on our site) and apply this to the bare metal." on the spraycan directions page. Have you used it with POR-15? I suppose I could just ask the company. |

Never tried it,Por-15 is great but for little touch ups it is a pain to open and close the can....I always seem to find the lid is stuck no matter how careful I am. |

Slight hijack, anyone know how to figure out what color code paint I have on my car (non-stock color)? Or, where can I go to get this done? I'd love to grab some touch up paint, but I have no idea what the exact color is, and the place where I got it painted closed a while ago.
Thanks, Chris |

Chris, you can take your car (or more conveniently just a piece like the headlight bucket!) to any number of places (Carquest was suggested to me) and they can do a match to your color.

Do they just match it visually, or do they analyze it with a machine? Do you know if any FLAPS can do that, or does carquest specialize in paint matching? Thanks for the suggestion!

Computerized analysis. I'd call around to FLAPS or body shops and see who can do it. I'm sure one of them will at least refer you to the right place.
