touch up paint

[91accordex]

I'm getting rust on the bottom of my driver side door and (of course) over both rear wheels. I used rust converter which converts it to primer. Now i just need to use touch-up paint and the problem is that my car is the '91 model with that blue-green/teal color. it's an unusual color and I went to a couple places but couldnt find a match. Does anybody know where I can find touch-up paint of that color or has anybody used touch-up paint that matched up really well ?

Is it B23M? I think its called Avignon Blue...my friend's gf's Accord is that color...sadly I don't think there is a proper touch up color for it unless you go to honda and have them ship over some paint for you...it sucks its the same with my color

[uncle_el]

the number for the color code should be on the door jamb of the driver side door.

Go on down to your local Honda dealership. Ask the guy in the body shop for the place he gets his paint from. That's what I did.

BG-23m

I can't find the paint for my cb7. The car has the paint code of BG-23M. I've checked at the honda dealership and the only thing they had was touch-up paint. need some help here
thx

Do you have any auto body supply shops in your town? Your paint code is on the driver side door jamb, look it up and call the paint supply store and give it to them. They can mix it. Almost all places do it via computers, so it will be a perfect match to the OEM paint.

There should be paint shops in your area, pull out a phone book, the good shops will be the ones all the collision places use so it's a good idea to talk to some of them. Around here it's English Color there's also Sherwin Williams (the really good ones in most major metro areas will have automotive paint) the paint you'll get will most likely be either Dupont or PPG. The shop will do the best thay can to match it, and like cb7deathride said the formulas are calculated by computers but the actual mixing of that formula is done by hand (by weight I think) so mistakes can be made. Also a '90 - '94 car will have faded no matter how well you've taken care of it, so even if the formula's perfect there's still a possibility that it wont match perfectly (especially true for darker cars)

A good quart of urethane DBC (metallic) should run somewhere around $40

keep in min you still need a primer, reducer, clear coat, and if you really want to go hard core, a hardner and a flex agent will be needed.

if you just have scratches here and there do you need to sand the whole part down or just put a couple of coats over it. Also is it imporatant to have the primer, reducer, clear coat and the hardner, i am new with this kind of stuff.
