    Perfect color match for your CB7.

    Today I was browsing thru my Modified magazine(very good mag BTW) when I came across an ad for Automotive touch Up. Automotive Touch Up is a company that specialize in OEM colors, so I decide it to look up my color. Come to find out that they have every OEM color for the CB7, not only do they have them, but they have them in Aerosol cans as well as little 1/2 ounce touch up bottle. I my self am pretty excited about this. I was just going to get rid off my OEM color (Arcadia Green Pearl), but now I am going to get it restored. Hope that this is useful to some of you. Here is the link to Automotive Touch Up's website. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...a&model=Accord

      The original OEM paint colour probably won't be much of a match. Considering your car has been sun f#@ked for 19-22 years. If you look around there are quiet a few local auto parts stores that can actually mix and match paints based on the actual colour of your existing paint. Take in a chip or paint or drive your car in and let them match it with there paint chips. They can usually load them into an aerosol spray can if you want to pay the $$$.

      I do this all the time for small welded patch jobs.

          They're a good company and all, my father in law got a can of the spray paint for some touchups he was doing on his pt cruiser and the color match was good enough, but the price is outrageous IMO. $20 for a can of spray paint? Plus i just checked shipping. To VA, 1-2 weeks, $8. 3-5 days is $12. HOLY CRAP. Obviously the value is in the eye of the beholder but not worth it to me.

                    Who complains about a 20$ can of spray paint thats an oem color? Especially if its base coat, thats a good deal. I used to make spray cans in a paint shop for cars and for SHIT paint it started at 25$ a can.

                    I used to use that website alot tho to help customers figure out what color they had and find the code. Very cool site IMO

                      I post the site here for the benefit of those who want to keep their OEM color. Look at my car on the Beginers rides thread so can see how not all CB7s paint is all faded and looking like crap. Mine just need a new clear coat and a few touch ups, thats why the link is here. I see already that it has been helpful to some, so I am happy.

                          What clear are you guys using? I just recently painted a fender and qtr on a 04 civic with this clear and it's a urethane- http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd_2_part_2k_aerosol.cfm

                          And it turned out great, also ordered the base in a spray can from them and they require some VIN info to better match the color. For spray bomb it turned out awesome.

                            Just checked out the repaint supply website... It seams to be a good clear coat product... How did the VIN affect your order?

                              This is from the site and is required to order the paint after you have already found your paint by color code - "By Providing the 11th Character of the VIN # for your vehicle, this tells us what factory you your car was produced in and also tells us the color that was used."
