Where Can I Get Factory Paint Colors?
I am trying to accent my interior, but I can't find any factory paint! I have all the primers and stuff, just no paint! I am looking for blaze red, if that helps...

rico05,
Dupli-color brand spray touch-up paint named Cardinal Red (can't find the lid right now or I'd give ya the code #) is almost a dead-nuts match for the 89-91 Blaze Red with 10 years of sun fading.
I used this color to touch up a 6inch area on the lower quarter panel and its so close that under any type of light it does not stand out.
PM me if you can't find it, I'll look for the code!

Sorry takerwolf!
Silver is one of the toughest colors to match. Even the factory color code mix will not match exactly, even without normal fade.
Body shops need to blend the full body panel at minimum, if not the adjacent panels, to make it look right.
Trial and error with touch up colors may get you close?
Bummer,
Mike

Sorry was replying to two posts at once, I am looking at painting the whole car but I like the blue tint to the silver and want to match the factory new paint as much as possible so the engine bay and inside the doors looks close to the same.
