Default Touch-Up Paint

Anyone know of a good source for small amounts of touch-up paint for 1930 Cinnamon Brown?

Try a hobby shop for trains colors in those little jars. Get as close as you can and then add a complementary color to make your match.

I bought some touch up paint from Crown Auto Body in Salem Ma. It was Bronson Yellow and Seal Brown. They were able to look up the Dupont color code and mix up a 2 ounce bottle of each. With shipping to CT, it was $37. As far as matching, both colors were close, but not a perfect match. Much of that I attribute to the fact the paint on the car was over 30 years old and surely has faded or discolored somewhat over that time. I don't think they have a web site but were very helpful over the phone: (978) 744-0911

Maybe on an obscure part but not in the middle of a hood or a door. Some times cheap is not best, in fact cheap can make the entire car look bad. Take it to a parts or paint store and let them do a computer match. The results will look professional versus amateurish !
