You can have your local paint shop match up the color and they can put it in spray cans for you. Now my car is a solid color red no metallic and I touched up my engine bay with a foam brush and I polished it and it looks good not perfect but most is going to be covered by the engine and stuff anyway it was a single stage so it didn't need clear. But beware sometimes the paint dont match right, it is alittle off, a couple shades. May want to have him make a test batch to try it against what you have. Fading and age cause that.

I want to bring it back to original B-5 Blue and think I want to respray the engine and inner door, trunk, etc before placing a new 440 engine into the car and having the body profession all sprayed at a local shop.
I have a spray gun, but have never used it, and think it might be easier to use a couple spray cans to get into the inner door, trunk, etc. Also, since I believe the original paint is an acrylic enamel (?), might want to stick to that... Have any of you use the spray can from some of the on-line merchants (Recommendations?). Any recommendations or thoughts on the painting? Larry
