Touch up paint for VMax

[tnhunter]

I got a little too trigger happy with my garage door a couple of days ago and got a scratch in the top of the motor couling.

Where can I get some touch up paint for a 2003 VMax?

Do a search on here, both for current and archived threads. VMAX paint has been discussed a couple of times the last couple of years, (I know because when I had a VMAX I wanted to know the same thing) and there's paint color codes, where to buy and everything....

Been there done that .
For my 2008 I was told to get Duplicolor GM505 . I have not had a chance to try it yet.

I've tried it....close by not exact. Good for small nicks, but not for big surface cover ups as you can see it pretty good in the Sun that it's not a match.

Try this site. I haven't used it personally, but I saved it to my favorites when someone else posted it. I used the 505GM on my lower unit, it does not match the cowling.

My scratch is small so I won't be in a big hurry but I will look into this based on the advice and try to post my results.

Thanks for the helpful input.

I made my own!

Mixed up a couple blues & black, and presto!

That colorite site needs to be pegged to the top of the yamaha motor section. Not only does it have shiny black, but also the base coat. Thanks!

color rite is an exact match. Although you need to be very aware of the flash time, if your priming it.

if you dont it turns out like this

if you prime it and follow the flash time it looks like this


I dont know if the gm dupli color has similiar priming and flash time

Hey, somebody else from Sweetwater on here! Have you tried Madisonville Marine? They should be able to get you set up. If not, the NAPA in Athens can color match it for you. If you take your cowling down there with you they'll match your exact color and mix up some for you. They used to be able to mix pints for touch up, but I'd call and make sure first.
