I used the little duplicolor paint cans from Autozone to paint the lower skirts on my white coupe.



I also used the duplicolor color match paint to do the burgundy you see on the door panels from my wagon.



prep is the key as is drying time.

test and let a small area dry first... duplicolor usually isnt too far off, but some of their shades of red are horridly matched.

I used duplicolor touchup paint for a few scratches I have just yesterday, I havent sanded it down yet or anything but the color looks as if it matches pretty good. My car is heather mist, anyone else have experience with this duplicolor color?

Go to paintscratch or paintchip.com, something like that, they make 3 step kits that are supposed to match stock color.

im not sure this is the same for ur model, but my accord is a 98 with "San Marino R94 HONDA" ~~HA 00977~~


it works great... it was a pain looking for the color, i didnt use the clear coat, cuz i was just thouching up the bearnt marks on my bumper where i nicked a guy last year in the back.. looks great.

I've used Duplicolor a number of times and it hasn't done me wrong so far.

yup, my coupe is frost white and the burgundy on the wagon was bordeux red.

I did use a clearcoat over the skirts on the coupe,along with an adhesion promoter. It was just your basic Duplicolor clearcoat too.
