this seems like a good place to post this, sorry if its in the wrong section....

wanted to share a good positive review with all of you.
i wanted to paint my trex eyelids to put on my Xrunner, and i HATE duplicolor "perfect" match because it DOESNT match for s**t.

i started looking around online for matched paints in a spray can and i came across www.automotivetouchup.com

they blend every can per order to exact factory paint specifications and it is top notch paint and aerosol mix that just goes on beautiful, unlike any other spray paint i have ever used.

(unfortunantly) i only had time to paint today, no time to put on my truck due to rain, but here is the final result.

the pics arnt the best because they are off my phone but it matches PERFECTLY to the stock paint color, even down to the mica (paint flecks)

They are looking real good. Is that after clear coat? Either way color came out nice.

yes that is after clear coat (2 wet coats) without wet sanding or buffing. it matches pretty damn good so idk if im even gonna buff them, it almost seems like a waste of time hahaa

Working on a customers truck we used duplicolor it matched real good.

As for the eyelids that I have sitting around for a year now I'll use dc again.

How much? per can. Looks good.
it is expensive, but well worth it im my opinion. i think it was $19 for the paint and like $10 for the clear coat. it comes out in such a fine mist, thats why it looks so good

ive just never had good luck with duplicolor. it has always been close, but never perfect. this paint is perfection for spray paint :rockon:

Would this stuff be any good for stock parts? Like the fenders, door handles etc.

Great post, I always wondered if there was an online store. I've had a local Sac paint shop that has been able to hand mix ar paint in a can since I was a kind too, so I know the benefit. Nice spray job you did.
