I' going to need a can of matching paint for my '67 Monaco, not sure exactly what the paint code is but it's the dark green metalic. Would be great if it was in an aerosol spray can, ready to use. Does such a product exist?
I picked up some from this place for a few accessory parts and the color matched almost perfectly! Its expensive but a whole different ball game than the stuff you get in the auto parts stores.I' going to need a can of matching paint for my '67 Monaco, not sure exactly what the paint code is but it's the dark green metalic.

I find it interesting that you mention TCP Global......in terms of matching the factory original color for a restoration project do you believe they have the best capability to duplicate the original paint colors (this is the opposite question being asked here where he is trying to match his aged old original paint). In looking at various website claims of various paint manufacturers I find that they (TCP Global) seem to have the best capability to match the factory original colors. I even called them up to discuss this and it seems they even have the fine metallics that really don't seem to exist anymore with anyone else I talked with, but they said they can match the fine metallics. I will be repainting a 1971 Chrysler 300 in GJ4 green and they assured me they could match it perfectly as new. I would want the single stage acrylic urethane paint to best duplicate the original. Just curious about your thoughts (but didn't want to derail this thread either). Maybe it would be better if you could just PM me. Thanks!PreVal makes a DIY aerosol paint item. A small glass jar onto which an aerosol spray unit crews onto. Works well.
If you ordered some paint from TCP Global, factory formula, it would NOT match your aged paint, even if your paint does not appear faded. Which makes the suggestion of a computer-scanned SINGLE-STAGE acrylic enamel very accurate.
Remember, too, that you will need to do some surface prep on the area. If you are just wanting to do touch-up on rock chips, an artists' camel-hair small brush can work much better than a spray can.
Just some thoughts,

That job shouldn't be as critical for colour match new vs 35 years old for a couple of reasons. The steering column doesn't get anything close to the Uv exposure the the exterior does so it whould have very little fading from original. There isn't much around it the same exact colour to give it away unlike a hood or a quarter panel where even a slight difference sticks out like a sore ***.I'm going to be swapping in a tilt steering column. I need to paint the part of the column behind where the steering wheel mounts (not sure what that's called). It's currently painted black.
The car was repainted in 1987, probably a single-stage urethane. When the car came back, my dad was immediately not impressed - he says they got the color wrong (a little to dark). I also repainted the dash (the metal part) and I think I got the color right, but the car is now in storage and it's not coming out probably until May or June.View attachment 573647View attachment 573648View attachment 573649

I went to a auto body paint supply shop . They were able to give me a spray can and a little bottle of touch up paintbest to go to an auto paint supply shop and get them to scan your car's body, get a formula and they will mixup a spray can of it.
its the only way to match your 56 yr old paint, ive been very happy with the matching.
here in victoria it costs about $35
I live in Canada as well , not far from Edmonton. There is a NAPA here that handles body work and paint supplies. They make spray cans of automotive paint and have made me several spray cans for my car with great end results. I had my paint formula handy , it took them about 40 minutes to make me up a couple spray bombs $30 a can .Yea - another problem is that, since I'm in North Korea (also known as Canada), shipping aerosol spray cans is going to be a problem.
Napa or Carquest has paint mixing services.Yea - another problem is that, since I'm in North Korea (also known as Canada), shipping aerosol spray cans is going to be a problem.
