I have ONR chip in my paint - ONE! It's been there since I dropped a screwriver in the 80's. Rest of the paint is perfect.
I'm looking for something that doesn't require a brush, since I am known to be sloppy. Concerned about compatability, since my paint was put on in 1979, and is a poly-razzmataze paint of the era. Clear coated too. Paint was a Glssurit compound. Could look it up, but just wondering. There are "pens" out there, but I don't want them bleeding/bubbling what I have. Suggestions? Pat |

Okay Pat - lets try the KISS approach first.....
Go to Paintscratch.com, enter your car type as 1972 Volkswagen Convertible" in the little drop down boxes & go to the next page (click button), then pick the L30E Bahia Red & go to the next page, then select the "Base Coat" (color coat) pen at the top, plus add a clear coat pen & primer pen if you want. When they ship it to you, they send a plastic coated test card to try out the paint pen vs. your paint. If it's a good match, then you're all set to do the chip repaint repair with the primer, base/color coat & clear coat pens in hand! If it's not a match, then you've got 2 out of the 3 pens, you're out $15 for the off-color pen, & you can try to get a paint sample of some sort for a 2nd try with a custom color match of the 1972 era Bahia Red L30E for another $15 _ tax & S+H! FYI _ I just did a search on there to try to find a Bahia Red under the Porsche colors for various years, but nothing comes up, probalby because the L30E color codes were VW, so I tried that & after trying with several `72 VW models, it came up for the convertible. Hope this helps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
