Just hoping that somebody has already found a good one than trying the trial and error method this weekend.

Looking for actual touch up paint not spray enamel from tower or urethane in a pen.

Just the stuff found at the local auto parts store. I want something that works with LANGKA.

Thanks,

-J

Seriously, white is just as hard to match as any other color. As the touch up paint cures more, the shade will change.

I think we used an appliance touch up enamel(strong smelling stuff!) when my wife had her Chamoix tii. Testors model paint is another option. This was for any of the little nicks and rock chips. I would use a toothpick to just touch the paint into the chip.

For other, harder to match colors, like those on our tandem, I have had to resort to various nail polishes. It is quite a sight to see an adult male laboriously studying all the shades of nail polishes. I'm sure I get a few puzzled looks.

I've used it before. If you have faded paint or a respray that isn't exactly factory color, it will probably be off. They do have all the 02 color codes I believe.

enamel in a bottle or can. Blobby and faster drying times are a result of this. LANGKA can be used with both but it is designed to work with fast drying touch up paint.

I got the primer pen and Chamonix paint stick and their touch up spray paint for a Chamonix car. All of their products worked great and they were very close to the original. -Brian

Paintscratch is ripping people off. $30 for 1 spray can of paint!? Thats not even including their over priced clear....and then shipping. You're out of your mind if you use Paintscratch. Paintworldinc.com uses the same exact paint...the same brand, the same quality. But Paintworldinc.com prices are way lower, you can call their phone and actually get a human being, they have an actual store you can walk in to, great customer service, and great technical knowledge. You're crazy if you ever order from Paintscratch.

Most hardware stores and hobby shops have PreVals...It's basically a small glass jar that you screw a propellant can onto. I've used 'em for minor touchups for years and they work well. And you can buy extra bottles to keep your touchup paint in.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
