[s-cars] Pearl white touch up paint?

[Doug Landaeta]

No solace on the small vial availability, but
maybe next time I need bodywork (which has been
about annually), I can get the mixed stuff and
package up some stockable vial for us. I imagine
the mix for the touch up would be slightly
different than the actual sprayed paint, maybe
more thinner, or thicker, I dunno.
But the shop matched my Pearl very well last
November. I understand it takes patience and trial
and error, waiting for it to dry before assessing
the correct pigment.
Everyone's approx 10 year fade might be different,
so the vials idea might not work out.
Oh yeah, I use a little of the wif's nail polish
to keep water out and seal any deep chips.
