touch-up paint

[retroguy]

I recently got some jade tint touch-up paint for my car and the color match was perfect. Anyone interested can get it on line from TCP Global, Auto Color Library.  Not cheap.  One quart can of acrylic enamel is $109, but no shipping charge.

Is it branded as TCP Global or is the paint a different brand name.  Remember that Darrins and some Kaisers used lacquer, the rest of production used high-temp baked enamel.

It's branded TCP Global. Automotive acrylic enamel.  I just used a small brush to touch up  stone chips, door edges, etc and the color matched perfectly.

I looked at their website.  They are referencing Ditzler (PPG Finishes) color library stuff and using Ditzler paint numbers.  Ditzler was the main supplier of paint to Kaiser-Frazer (there were several suppliers but the others supplied as secondary sources or certain specific colors).  I'm no auto paint expert but the process they use according to the website is the same that I know of through the PPG side (maybe someone bought out this part of the business from PPG or has some kind of access agreement).

Question to retroguy:  are you also using the hardner they recommend or straight out of the can?

[retroguy]

Straight out of the can.  Seems to harden and dry within a couple of hours

What I'm seeing based on the link I found (looking for Ceramic Green for touch up) is that the hardener is a part of the enamel formulation, 8 parts color to 1 part hardener...
