Gonna post pics as soon as I get a cam so u guys can see what it looks like..


I bought some factory paint from the dealership, and noticed the paint's part # ends in W01, and my color code is W83 (Scotia White) Dealership guys assured it was right one, now it seems MANY shades off... Can anyone look up this part number and tell me if its W83 or "Scotia White" thanks..

Factory Touch-Up Paint Bottle Part # AMG3PT1W01

 

I got a lightning yellow OZ and bought the factory touch-up and it doesn't match for ****. There is no other yellow from mitsu and I shook it real well and it was when it was no more than two months old.

 

How did u apply the paint, and how much was it, i need to use a little on my car for a bad scracth that i got.

 

I got the touch up paint and it looks fine.

my car's black though...

 

I don't know about where you live, but there's a paint shop in my city that just looks up the paint code in a book and mixes the paint while you wait.... my touch up paint was around 5 bucks and matches perfectly. so I guess, if its an option, do that.

 

did you use primer and a clear coat? usually makes a difference. i put a white primer, a touch up of diamond white, and a clear coat. closer color match than when i tried without the clear coat and primer. still a little off, but less noticeable than just touch up paint by itself.

 

To apply you are supposed to do the following:
Take a piece of glad wrap, or any smooth plastic wrap like that, and wrap it around your finger, so the tip is smooth.
Dab some paint on your finger, and apply the paint. Make sure you apply in clock-wise motion.

 

yeah i need some touch up paint for lots of minor scratches and my g/f...grr...backed into my neighbors car with my car! scraped some paint off the passenger side rear bumper...figures lol
