Where can I buy touch-up paint?

[Heybluez]

I have the original Mooney paint numbers:

Base graystone 570-579

Dark Charcoal 579-603

Burgandy Red 576-542

Where can I get some touch up paint?

Thx!

Those look like Enmar paint codes.  I just tried to get a Enmar paint code matched at the PPG auto finish store.  Because they did not have a airplane listing book there was no cross reference.  And google Fu does not show for Enmar.   They suggested doing a paint match.  So pull the battery cover or a cowl side and take it in.

My paint is not original.  Its a complex metal flaked hunter green.  But I took off an inspection panel and brought it to a local auto supply store that has paint matching computer ability and they custom mixed a batch of perfectly matching touch-up.  It was quite inexpensive since all things auto are much less expensive than all things airplane.

+1 to Erik. You cannot match paint codes without the computer scanner. From the looks of many airplanes I see, most airplane mechanics don't know that.

Most of the bigger body shops mix their own paint, be sure who ever mixes it that you want a single shot paint, all the new stuff is base coat clear coat which you will be able to see the touch up

Take one of your access panels with all the stripes on it to the body shop.

Let them know what year the paint is from. Somewhere along the way, the paint chemistry changed.

They should be able to get it right.

There are paint codes in the parts manuals or MM. They might also be in your logs...

I went this route for my old C to get the paint codes then went with spray cans for small spots...
