Holts Dupli-Color Touch-Up Paint Colour for a White GUII

[ozjeff]

Getting more and more stone chips, so want to touch them up before they turn to anything else.

Easiest way would be those Holts Dupli-Color Touch-Up Paint pens from SuperCheap and others. Though no mention of what paint suits what and given there's like 20 'Whites'.

Has anyone used on on a 2001 White GUII before with a pretty close match? If so , what 'colour' was it.

Or should I just try and find a paint place and get a small tin from them.


Cheers.

Thats the stuff that SCA match and mix up yes? I used this when I repaired the rear barn door crack. Matched up spot on. Not sure how you will go with stone chips though. Plus the duco you are repairing will now be slightly off colour due to age and sun damage. But when I did the inside section of the door, spot on. Plus I did four light coats and a very light sand in between, then two coats of clear ontop.

Edit : Sorry your talking about their pens. I was referring to the spray can... But if they have a code match, it will be the closest you will get. Just remember you will still see the stone chip with the paint there. I wont be as noticeable though. Unless you fill the chip...

Yep, was talking about the pens. Thought that'll be the easiest given the small areas versus a spray can (or at least tin with a fine brush).

Found the colour QM1 - Polar White - so a off the shelf colour :) - yes I do realise it will be different due to ageing, but thankfully only stone chips and not scratches, so not so noticeable (hopefully :))

I do intend to try and build the paint layer back up, apply some, let it dry repeat a few times - then top it off with clear again. Then a good old glaze over the entire panel (only room for 1 more cut - so saving that for if I ever sell her)

Though 1 day I'd love to get her a full paint job, but never can decide on a colour. Would love Black - but then soooo many downsides to black as well.

Nah mate white is the go I reckon. I'd love to give mine a new lick of paint too. But then I would be too worried of getting bush pin stripes. But I have quite a few stone chips to. For some reason the roof on mine has a few....
