Paint Touch up.. Did I just Shoot Myself in the foot

[dacoyote]

I am going to ask before I go mess up the paint on my car anymore then it already is.

My e34 has a couple of spots where it has started to rust, (door corners and a couple on the hood)

I think back to my days of owning a ford and what I would do, so I scrapped all the loose rust off, and sprayed some rustolim brand auto primmer on it. Now it's time to sand that off, and re prime and repaint however I am not having any luck finding anything other then the little chip fillers for the car.

I need the spray can style however I cannot find anywhere that carries in with a color that is a "match" for the car and now I am thinking... did I just shoot myself in the foot.

Here is a picture of the current state of the one side (I have not re sanded yet)

Have you tried any specialist paint suppliers?

We have a local company in Portsmouth UK that can mix any colour you like from the paint code and put it in an aerosol spray can, costs about £10.

yes any "painters supply" house can custom mix you a can, it will probably be pricey tho. I would make SURE that the rustoleum is completelt off the car, I have had a lot of problems with that particular brand regarding peeling paint thats over the primer.

I dont think BMA or any of the regular parts suppliers would have it. Either look at local paint shop suppliers or google it up.

I will try BMA monday... or I will call the towerpaint place... sounds like they should be able to make what I need.
