Touch up paint for '02 bright red WS6
I have a lot of chipping on my headlight covers and a few on my hood, little whit chips it looks like, but I would like to cover them up with the proper touchup paint. The previous owner touched up a few chips, but the colors is a deeper red and you can notice the difference between the touch up and the area around it.

There are tables on the internet you can find your color code. I used this when I got my wing painted, got a can of a paint from the body shop.

I found the color code, but now I am unsure of what brand to go with. You can't see well in the picture, but my headlight cover is BAD, really bad... the think is loaded with white spots everywhere and looks terrible. I may just spray the whole thing, but I would rather touch it up first to see how it goes, then respray if all else fails. I will upload a better picture

What state are you in? My brother and I own our own business doing touch up work for car dealers. The paint we use is ppg, it will last as long as the factory paint. It's the only kind that will stick and not come off.

The paint code is WA9260-Victory Red. If you are concerned with it being an exact match have a local body shop mix a small batch of touch up paint for you so they can color match it. Victory red is notorious for fading, also excessive chipping can be a sign of a not so great respray anyway. PPG is good paint, but it is not "the only kind that will stick and not come off." Any major brand(I use Sikkens and HoK) is designed to stick, and not come off.
