duplicolor

Has anybody in the forum used duplicolor to touch up the paint on old triumphs?If you have what would be the best way for me to get a close match up of my bike's astral red and silver?
Thanks.

There is a spray can touchup paint at Wal-Mart that is VERY close. I forget what brand, but in this particular case, the cap was EXACTLY what the paint looks like, so you'll know it when you see it.

Stopped in at walmart but could't find a good match.Picked up a duplicolor can at advance auto parts,but doesn't really match either.I'll check again over the weekend.
Kadutz,if you do find your notes I would appreciate the info on the silver and gold.
Thanks guys.

we have been delayed a bit due to weather in this area. We are thinking about building a big boat and gathering the animals two by two. I hope to have your answer posted by Sat afternoon /evening

Hey there again,kadutz.Just got in contact with somebody who restores old bikes not far from here.I'm riding out there tomorrow and may end up having him paint the whole bike sometime soon.So I think I'll hold off on any patchwork till I talk to him.Hated to have you look for your notes if I really dont need them,atleast for now.
Thanks again.

I think I would like to get that info on the paint,kadutz,whenever you do find your notes.I'm going to hold off on that paint job for a few months at least.
Thanks.
