GP White touch up spray paint?

Need to paint my Rarlyl8 rear valance I just got. Any ideas for finding GP White spray, or a quality product (Wurth etc) that's a close match?

Simple...go to www.paintscratch.com for an exact match in a spray can. All you need is your paint code, but you should be able to figure it out on the website.

My '83 is GP White too. Went to one of the bigger local autopart places that had a paint shop in it. The guy looked up the code (had to dig a bit ) and mixed me up 2 spray bombs and a small touch up bottle complete with brush in lid. Not cheap but at least it was close enough to make the car presentable until I get around to a full respray. Only real problem is that 25 year old GP White is not quite the same as fresh GP White. I have to look very closely but I can see the difference. From 10 feet it looks fine

I know what you mean about 22 yr old GP white not matching. Just had my tail painted without the car being at the painters for a perfect match. It's close enough for a track car, but just different enough to be noticable. Oh the joys of old cars.

Paintscratch.com- that's the name I was looking for but couldn't remember. Thanks!
