Touch Up Paint for White IROC.
Hey guys, I am looking for the correct white touch up paint for a 40U 1989 Iroc. I cannot seem to find a company that will commit to 40U being the same white as the white used on my car.
Anyone have any luck with any touch up products?

Re: Touch Up Paint for White IROC.
I feel your pain. I got the correct code touch paint from the Chevy dealer, not even close. Auto parts store, not even close. Had the car scanned at the body and paint store and bought a quart - closer. Went back and someone tinted it with some ochre, still closer. That is a pain in the butt color to match.

It only has rock chips and a 4" x 1/2"spot on the hood that I used some white to paint it out... and while others don't see it....

40U only means that your cars color is primarily White. You need the color code off your RPO sheet. In 86 the code for White was 8554

I had a sandrail painted 1970 Dodge Challenger green. that real bright green almost neon color. I ordered some paint from paintscratch.com and they mixed it up and shipped it to me. Perfect match! Also had them make me some touch up paint for my Corvette that matched perfectly too.

You could try to have a shop match it and make you some.. might be a little pricey but I know guys that can match paint perfectly.. try a good body shop in your area that does show cars and restorations (not just insurance work) and they might help you out..

Re: Touch Up Paint for White IROC.
I’ve never found touchup paint that matches what it says it matches.. always had to mix it..
