Re: Force Silver

I tried to get touch up paint from Color Rite recently and was greatly disapointed. Not only was it not a good match, it wasn't even friggin close.

Another rider on here said silver is the hardest color to match, now I beleive him.

Good luck bro.

I used Dupli-Color silver wheel paint and Clear coat.Almost a perfect match and a cheap alternative.

Re: Force Silver

yea, the paint touch up guy at work hates silver, says hardest to match and even when you get it close it is never perfect. go take a look at a new car these days, all pannels are a different shade from the factory. not to put ya down but good luck.
