Default Polo White Touch Up Paint?

Any recommendations where to buy Polo White touch up paint? I've searched and looked at parts sites, but haven't found Polo White in touch up paint?

thanks for any help!

go to your local auto paint store and have the custom mix something up. you have no clue what color your car really is.

Not sure if you are wanting just to touch up some chips or a larger quantity. But, for my little touch ups on my '65 (Ermine White) I have purchased through Corvette Central (you can find the small 1 fluid ounce bottle on their website). They get it from a firm called Custom Car Colors LLC, Howell, Michigan. And, just a suggestion, if it is little nips and chips you are touching up, don't use the brushes that come in the tube kits from parts stores or in little bottles. Go to your local hobby store and buy some super fine art brushes OR try the tiny little Q tip like sticks. They have a super small fabric end on them, ideal for controlling the amount of paint you want. Good luck!

That Polo white is hard
Take your fuel door into a local paint store and have them match it unless you have the paint code
I assume you dont
That white can be very yellow.....

These guys say they have it. www.paintscratch.com For 55 and 54. But they say it is for all Chevy models those years. Don't know if they are right. I have bought many colors from them and always a great match. I also support the idea of taking the fuel door to a custom house. NAPA has done good by me in that regard.

My local NAPA store had a cute little camera device they can take out to your car too match paint and will make up a 1 oz bottle, a rattle can, or a quart or more.

all you need to do is go to a large car show where more than one car with same color shows up and park beside each other and your see names are for tombstones
