Where to get touch-up paint?
My 83 has some paint missing on the front air dam from a curb scrape the prevous owner must have had. I need to get some touch-up paint in a spray can.
Where the hell can I get it? My car is persimmon red (I think), not the sunrise red that I can find at every auto parts store I walk into. Where should I look?

Persimmon red was (I believe) an 84-85 color.
Look under the hood, on the firewall, there should be a plate with the vin and paint code. I would guess it's probably R3 Renisance red.
There are several places that can mix paint, and put it into a spray can. Kinda pricey, but sometimes there is no other option.

Many NAPA stores do it, as well as a few O'reilly's locations. Lots of paint supply houses also have the ability to do this.
There is also the ability to buy a small (1/2 pint) amount of paint, and using the appropriate reducer, put it into a spray can with a small resivoiur at the bottom, also sold at many parts/paint stores.
For touching up the rubber/plastic bumper covers, there is also a flex additive that can used, so the paint can remain soft enough to flex with the bumper cover.
As for the pin striping. Take pics of it, and most any trim shop should be able to replicate it.
