Touch up paint and auto spray for color A26

Hello,

I'm looking for touch up paint & auto spray for the Lancer '02. The color is A26 Coronado Sands.

Does anyone know where I can special order that since dupli-color doesn't have that color? Any special auto sales links to help me find that color?

thanks!

Tony

check to see if you have a paint shop in the area, any local body shops have to get their paint mixed SOMEWHERE. they'll be able to mix you up something.

Go to your local auto paint supply store and they will mix it for you.

You have to get the base color a26 then the clear coat. What are you going to do with it if I may ask?

Never used touch up paint. Do they work? After applying it can you tell you did something to the car's finish?

Express paint here I used it on my own grill. As long as you prep it with some sanding and wet sand at the end it should look great. Make sure you buy their clear coat too, it's not worth the sleepless nights not knowing if it will come out right after all that work.
