    paint touch up on old Jav?

    I have an 01 Jav that is in beautiful shape except for a couple rock chips kicked up by my truck and a small scratch on the top of the bow. Seeing as OMC is no longer is there any place that I can still get touch up paint. The white I could probably match pretty close with automotive paint but the red sparkle would be tough.



    Thanks,
    Travis

    Thanks for the reply. I really don't think glassing is a good way to go in this case. These are minor chips and a really minor scratch. I've worked with fiberglass repair when restoring a corvette and I really think paint touch is a better alternative (if it's even available).

    Mine is the same color. A touch up paint specalist told me awhile back its a caddilac color. I think 1978. But i don't remember for sure. I went looking for my note and cant find it. If i find it this weekend i'll post again. you could find out who has been doing touch up jobs for car dealers in your area for a very long time and that guy would know.

    As far as the white goes, get you some finish coat gel coat.It is a simple fix. In no way would I put paint on it.

    If your chips are deep try white Marine Tex. Matches perfect.
