Default Scratchfix matching

I have this paint code for my car, however, I can not find a Scratch fix to match, am I missing something and they just dont make it? They have the spray, but not the scratch fix. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

With your color, you MAY have to check with a GM dealer, I know even my color, I had to go there as well.
Usually your best bet as far as match and quality as well, and its not to expensive either.

Yeah, we have a Mercury Mountaineer with the gold on the bottom. It has some scuffs I want to fix on the bumper, but I can't find that color anywhere. Even the dealer didn't have it. So you may have to check with a body shop supplier to get some mixed.

Duplicolor sells spray and paint pens in that color (77U)...hold on let me find their code.

Ok, the 5oz spray is DSGM449. They say there isn't a 1/2 oz pen (its code would be NGGM449) available on their chart but then again they said the same thing for my navy blue metallic car and I currently have the spray and the pen. Look around various auto stores/walmart and you should be able to come across it. Just look for that code I mentioned.

I'm glad I have a black car. It is easy to match.
The best advice I can give, is to keep it in good condition if you can. "Like new" shine in the finish is much easier to match.

yea been trying to, but living in an apt with no garage and no place to do a real great clean job sucks, but doing my best.

Thanks Dillcc, I will have to start looking around to see if I can find that number, I think its going to be harder then it seems.

Thanks Robert for the info, 14.95 is pricey though.
