Paint Question...Cheap match for Golf Yellow Paint code 060

[haromich]

I'm wanting to touch up many small rust spots on my 1976 02. I'm trying to do this on the cheap and want to avoid having to go the $20 custom blended rattle can route. Does anyone know of a any sort of match with the cheaper common paint brands? Duplicolor, etc rattle can types. My searches of the forum haven't yielded any clues for cheap brands, but do provide many sources for the high end exact match blends. Thanks for whatever tips you can give me.

if your car wears it's original paint, you're going to create a mess by touching up a lot of small areas...it'll look like yellow measles...anyway, good luck

You're right Esty. Hey, maybe I could build on the yellow measles theme! Well, maybe not too.

One of the local automotive paint stores here, can match the factory color in a spray can. It is usually right around $20 a can, so not too bad. They matched my Colorado color pretty darn good.

Good Luck

Thanks for the leads guys. Even an inquiry to Duplicolor mfgr came back with a personalized response that they don't come close. So, Esty is wise, after thinking about it, a 2002 with measles would look worse than as is.
