Where Can You Find "Chamonix" Paint?

[haromich]

I have a '69 2002 that has some "bruises" on its orginal Chamonix paint. Eventually I am going to do a body-off repaint when I get the money. Until then (could be a while), I'm trying to find some touch-up spray paint that won't totally embarass me nor get me thrown out of the BMW community. Any suggestions on where to find some paint that's matches or is close to a match?

Thanks Esty. I had tried searching, but didn't go far enough back in time. It sounds like paintscratch.com ($$$) or Chrysler's "Cool Vanilla" ($) are the key fall-backs. Does anyone know the paint code for "cool vanilla"? Thanks again, your guys are great at keeping me on track!

Esty, I believe it was your suggestion to try Wimbleton White. I agree! It's a very nice period color and easy to find at most paint shops. After all its a FORD color This boat paint might be a good source for touch up Chamonix.

Go to an auto painting supply store and have them mix up some rattle cans for you. The paint code for Chamonix is 085. Figure about $20 per can.
