Anyone know where to find some touch-up paint for a Performance Red Stang. Not sure what the paint code is......went to O'Reilys they didn't have my color.

I'm trying to cut the dealer out of the loop. The dealer is my last resort.

I would go to the dealer. Best way to get exactly what you need and the specific paint code to your car. May cost a few dollars more, but you are getting the right thing.

Try www.paintscratch.com - they have TONS of OEM colors to choose from and will package your touch up paint in a small touch up bottle or spray can. I've used them and bought touch up paint for all my vehicles and had excellent results. They may be a bit on the expensive side but WELL worth it to get an exact match.

*Update*
Went to the paintscratch.com site, they have performance red on their chart, the color code is ES .

I'll be looking into doing this soon as well. There's about 20-30 small scratches on the back and front bumpers, but since I'll probably get a body kit eventually, I don't see the point in me doing paint touch-ups...

Thanks.....I need to do that. Would you recommend their clearcoat over anything within a local Auto store. I understand the touch-up, just trying to save on the clear coat.

I did get their clearcoat in a bottle (they also sell it in spray cans) and it seemed to work just fine...it comes in a small bottle that way you don't have to buy a quart of it or more. So I'd have to recommend it as it comes in just the right size that way you don't waste it. Hope this helps!

That might work out fine....because I'm considering a hood scoop, and none of them come pre-painted.
