Anodized Trim Touch Up Paint

[georgie]

Does anyone know of a source for touch up paint to match the stock anodized trim on an '87 Carrera? To match for instance the black anodized window trim, wiper blade arms, etc.....

Thank you!

I can't imagine that there is such a thing.

It would seem to me that your choices are to paint all the trim or re-anodize all the trim. My choice would be the later.

yeah, probably correct. but,
I've seen some very different types of paint at these artisy paint stores.. like the art school stuff/ glazing, transparent tinted paints, etc..

so if I was serious I would give a phone call because their sites were difficult for me to "understand the lingo".. and the staff are full of imagination.. I got some window tinting paint from a place called "Pearl Paints"

Paint and anodize are two vastly different finishes. You can touch up small areas of anodize with a thinned out black paint if you don't want to have the part(s) completely re-anodized

For small touch ups I use a Sharpie pen. Works great! Every 3-4 months I hit the edges of my lug nuts and they look like new.

The Dupli-Color brand has a Metalcast line of colors. Just last weekend I bought the silver anodize. I haven't tried it yet but the lid is very close to the wheel anodizing.
It doesn't look like they have black though.
