I need to get some touch-up paint for my wife's 91. It is still stock color white. The codes on the door look like the paint is : RD/DSO
But I'm not sure if this is correct.

I'm just trying to get a little help before I go off and get frustrated. The qty I'm looking for is a little more than just the little rock-chip bottles that you find at AutoZone.

Would a paint shop be better to take the car to and let them look up the codes? Do they have books for that?

Call Colortone paint..210-736-3143
RD sounds like a good code. You may have to buy a 1/2 pint, but that will only be about $20 and will match better than the bottle stuff and you will get alot more.

more then likely oxford white

In 1991 there was two Oxford Whites
Oxford White Clearcoat = YX
Oxford White = YO

This car does not appear to have a clear coat. There are some signs of fading and it doesn't have the depth that a clear adds.

Where is Colortone located? I've used Gladwin (off Broadway) before and have had good relations with them.

The problems I have is on the inside of the fender lip, just under the edge of the hood (engine bay). The paint has peeled where the fender bolts down and it has creeped up to the edge at the hood where it is now visible. I want to paint that area to help keep it from peeling. Color match does not have to be spot-on-perfect, but it does need to be pretty close. This area will probably be done with an air brush and the finish line on the fender will be buffed out smooth.

Oxford White, huh? Sounds good at least.

Gladwin will do too. Colortone is on Fredricksburg road (619) and you will need a reducer if you are going to airbrush. It may be a single stage paint that is faded. SS paints are easy to blend. Just ask them how to do it. RD is not Oxford white, like Vic said. But you can bring in the fuel door to have it matched pretty good, or just give them the color code, and have the vin handy too.

I use Gladwin as well

[kmack]

I guess I'll just drive the car to work one day and stop by Gladwins during lunch, since I work pretty close to their store on Broadway.

Thanks for the help.

Cool. Tell Art and Rene hello for me. lol
I stopped going to Gladwin because colortone is alot easier to get too and the resident expert is always there.

The only whites listed are:
YX = Titanium Frost
YO = Oxford White

There is not a RD code listed

[keg65]

If "RD" is the color code, is this a SSP car?
with a special paint color?

RD paint code would be for teal metalic but for 93 cobra I can find out the codes for white I ahve a paint code chart at work .. I could get the paint cheaper through NAPA who much do you need and what are you painting ...
