[T3] Rush Ideas

[Mike Fisher]

We've used touch-up paint & spray cans mixed in VW & Toyota colors from
www.towerpaint.com  They will mix it in enamel or acrylic lacquer base coat
& clear cat.  My diamond blue is a re-paint so the touch-up paint is not a
perfect match, but close enough?  The Toyota color paint we ordered in
acrylic lacquer base coat/clear coat spray cans came out real nice!
