Title: Touch Up Paint
Post by: dchristi51 on October 01, 2011, 06:56:53 PM

Hi everyone from Tulsa,
I posted on here a couple of weeks ago about touch up paint for my people 250 scooter.  I've had quite
a time trying to get paint to match.  Ordered from www.scootershop.com (http://www.scootershop.com), but the paint didn't match at all.  It was way too dark.  My scooter is metal flake charcoal.  I sent an e-mail to scootershop, and they told me to send my vin# and they would try to get the matching paint.  That was 7-10 days ago, and have not heard from them.  So, I've spent the better part of a month trying to get the paint.  Someone at work told me to go to the local parts store. I went to O'Reily's  auto and they took some of portable device that recorded the color and they mixed it for me and put it in a spray can.  Matched perfectly!!!!
Just wanted to relay this to anyone that might have the same issue.

Thanks for the heads up. I am in Phoenix. Didn't know that O'Reileys can do that. I am going to ask the next time I'm there as my scooter has a nick from shipping.
