Paint Match Question

[Rallim]

So I've tried looking before, but I havn't found anything successful. Does anyone know of a touch up spray can for Deep Forest Green, or a color of another manufacturer that works closely? If there is, I might go ahead and pick up this saleen bumper locally

The cars not meant to look perfect, It'd just be nice if there was a simple solution short of getting paint mixed. Thanks in advance

funny enough I was at the store trying to match a spray can myself. Closest I could find was duplicolor emerald green but its still a bit light from the first spray-out I tried. Going to do it on a dark/black primer next too see how it looks but I am just looking to add some detail to the interior.

Never found any success on our paints in the stores.. Always ordered online...www.paintscratch.com
you will find everything you need plus some... At good prices too..Paint pens/bottles/ spray cans... All in your color for your year. Good luck ...

That site doesn't list a forest green, but it lists a tourmaline green with an NA paint code like deep forest, I'm assuming that's probably the same unless I"m just not seeing deep forest. If it is that's exactly what I"m looking for

Maybe I am missing something but they don't have a mustang to select in their drop-down menu and under "all other models" there is nothing even as close as emerald green to match DFG

I have a 97...never looked at any other years..Sorry Bud


Don't forget to go by Color code not the paint name...Just go by your VIN....

my touch up pin says touraline green and it matches my NA green car.

Cool, should be just fine then.

gosh I hope the color on myscreen is off as it doesn't look any closer to the emerald I found. Not dark enough imo.

Hmmm in the worst case.. Just make sure your color code match.. And just order a paint pin? Or something that don't cost a whole lot.. And if its not right.. U can still call them up and find out about a refund.. But I'm pretty sure it's dead on... Other then the name brand colors are off.. Like Ppg paints.. Vs DuPont?...

I wouldn't go off of what you see on the computer, I agree on going with the code. I'll probably order a can, try it on my missing piece of fiberglass on the hood, go from there. Car's already three different shades of green in the right light anyways, if I can get spray cans of it for cheap it'll let me keep the car one color until I do a full respray eventually anyways. (Not in the same color though.... :evil

Yeah, the name doesn't mean anything. In my case, E8 could be Rio Red, or Vermillion Red. It's the same thing. Always use the paint code when ordering.

I have found one Duplicolor that was close enough for chip repair but I'm at work. If it the color is not mentioned before I get home I'll post it. Also, we call our cars deep forest green but my build sheet says it's tourmaline with the NA paint code. :dontknow:

I finally was able to spray out the emerald green by duplicolor and with a dark primer its not to far off.
