Default touch up paint

Does anyone know where to locate ppg globel toner white for the white strip on a backdraft cobra?

No luck finding a paint code for it. Trying to get a touch up pen or brush bottle.

Do you know the paint code? If you do try Automotive Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch - Order Pro Grade Paint - PaintScratch.com

Although I bought mine used, it came with the build sheet which had the color listed. Mine is PPG Royal blue. I went to the local PPG distributor and they also color matched the white stripe so I'd have a touch up can for both colors. Carquest/advanced also sells paint and should be able to match (I think they do DuPont paint).

pheagles don't know where you live but around here we can drive our cars to the paint supply shops and they will use a machine to code read the paint. This will give you true color which includes sun fade, etc.

I took the trunk off a Cobra a couple of years ago and took it to the paint store for a reading on the blue and white. We needed a match so we could paint the new hard top. Perfect match.

PHeagles, as Dwight said, find an automotive paint supplier. There's a pretty good probability they'll have some sort of machine that can recognize and identify about any paint color. If you get a color code, "Scratch Doctor" makes very good touch up paint that's good for small chips.

Thanks for the advice. If I can't get the code from the dealer who sold it I will try to find a paint supplier. I live in the Manheim PA so there has to be a paint supplier here in the Manheim auction area.

I just got a small chip on my white stripe BDR of course right where the clear bra ends. I spoke with my BDR dealer about the paint code and was told every time BDR uses a white paint its a little different shade each time and they really can't help. Bottom line is I bought the Duplicolor Chrysler Bright White touch up (Amazon) and it matches perfect! Hope this helps.
