Default Marlboro Maroon Touch Up Paint

I have purchased a small bottle of After market 67 Marlboro Maroon touch up paint that is a bid lighter with a touch more red than I like.

Could I add a few drops of Lacquer Black to darken it a small amount? Or would I ruin the color?

Thoughts?

You could give that a try. If there is an automotive paint supply store near you, they might be able to custom match the paint for you.

Do yourself a huge favor, like was suggested, go to an automotive paint store in your area, have a mix/tint paint to match your specific car..... then store it small containers with very little air space, it’ll last you for years worth of touchup work

A paint shop or supply store could use one of their paint/computer matching guns and scan the paint on your car. I used it on my Mustang and it was a near perfect match. With the formula from the paint matching gun, they can then mix your the paint that you need. BTW< HomeDepot has that same technology when you bring them a paint sample to match.

Regard,

Dan
