Inka car owners...Have you ever found a color match in

Mike, auto parts stores who supply paint to body shops can mix you rattle cans by paint code. I had some nevada made (by Crow-Burlingame) a few years ago locally and it was about $15 per can.

I had some Inka paint mixed by a local paint shop and put in rattle cans - did my roll cage and interior panel touch up with it. Came out just fine. Theoretically you'll have a limited shelf life, but some of the cans lasted for about four years before they stopped working.

Yes, see:

Paint code is 022.

You'll need to buy a can of clear coat to cover it.

well that paintscratch looks like good quality for sure...

but I found a very close color in Rustoleum Industrial... it's in a larger (16oz?) can for 5-6 bucks. I won't be able to tell you the paint code because I'm away right now, but it just said "orange". and it's the "Industrial" product they carry... with a picture of a hard hat on it.

It's gloss already but I suppose you could do a clear over that as well... might help it blend in better.

I tried Dr. Color Chip (not a spray though) with disappointing results. It's expensive, too. I've always wondered if the dealer could get touch up Inka - probably not. It would be possible to put it in a small spray device.

Another good way to get great results for touch ups is to buy a Preval sprayer. This is a small bottle with a sprayer attachment that you can put your own paint in. Then you attach a CO2 cartridge to it. Very nice results and reuseable with all your small paint jobs. Available at most automotive paint stores.
