C8 Touch Up Paint
- Thread starter JCWP

Need a hoist thats all and they didn't. Hard to find a shop out here - so, bloody busy.
I would touch it up with paint and throw on a set of side skirts. To paint the rockers, you basically have to disassemble the entire freakin’ car, lol.
Went to another body shop to-day - same story - very expensive. Recommended LORCO as they mix it for you: just need paint code - WA three digits- WA427F - so, inside door jam you will get the three digits with the F after it. Because my color is a tricolor - red mist metallic there is quite the process to do touch ups: base coat, curing coat, another coat with a final one. In any case I will simplify the process. What a pain in the ?
JWCP, not to add insult to injury.
Did you have PPF on the lower rockers??
Did you try contacting you dealership (depending on you trust level of said dealership) to see if they have or could recommend a body shop that they would use to repair Corvettes.

Yes. They suggested I do the tough up thing? No PPF just ceramic coated. Not a mark on my car anywhere except that which we are talking about.

Looks like they don't want to talk to anyone! lol.
BTW the stuff is available on Amazon.ca
I emailed them and they got back to me right away and wanted a pic. Thanks again.
A proper Red Mist touch up needs 3 separate spray cans. I researched it when I had road rash on my coupe roof. Long story.
The 3 cans were available from a paint supplier in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, last year for $80 CAD. Apparently, the metallic portion is VERY expensive. Hence the high option price.

That's right. Ordered from PQ supplier who were extremely helpful. Thanks for everyone help on this.
I've dealt with them 2 times now and they are fast shipping and the colors were accurate, but not cheap.
