Touch Up Paint In Spray Cans February 21, 2013, 12:48:32 pm Yahoo Message Number: 136982FYI the Mothership no longer supplies touch up paint in spray cans. (They have a few old cans of the Oxford White left) but no other colors. I was told they had too many complaints on the Cardinal Lacquer that was previosly offered. So I am on a quest to get some custom mixed rattle cans of Cardinal 6609-75506. I have tried 4 paint places but nobody has been able to help. If anyone knows a source that will ship to AZ. or CA. please reply.Thanks, Bob Quartzsite, AZ. for a few...

I can believe that. Vince told me that it had shelf life of about 6 months. I had a can of the dark blue that was close to a year old when I finally used it. It didn't even come close to matching. Have you thought about just finding a matching paint and then investing in an inexpensive air-brush (Harbor Freight) for applying it? Please let us know if you come up with a good source for "touch up" paint.Doug[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

That's because the final finish coat from the factory is two-part polyurethane (Cardinal). IOW, you must use it immediately after it's mixed ie no rattle cans.Anyway, the way you do it is as follows:1. Get the official Ford/Chevy white from NMB: http://www.imatchpaint.com/

So I called Cardinal and they said the paint is a custom color. The only way they will make a batch is if I buy 20 cans at $8.10 ea. Ugh...Bob
