Best Source for Color Rite Touch Up Paint

Where is the most economical source to purchase Color Rite touch up paint for the Nomad?

Colorrite.com There's nothing economical about it.

See if a local bodyshop can color match it by scanning your paint. It will be a lot cheaper.

Humm...I just need a little for touch up so I guess I will have to "pay the piper." I see the prices on the ColorRite website, but was just curious if third party vendors sold it cheaper.

No third party vendor. The good news is that it will match.

Has anyone had a good experience with the colorrite touch up paint? I'm curious about how good it will look.

I had a slight mishap on the rear fender. Bought a touch up at Advance Auto. Worked great on the black.

The Color Rite paint is very expensive, but it does match very well, which I guess is the ultimate goal. I had a small chip on my gas tank, and I was worried about the candy fire red touch up paint not matching. With some colors, like the candy fire red, Color Rite recommends a base coat first, so I also ordered that. I am by no means a painter, but it turned out great, and I am very pleased with the results.
In summary, you get what you pay for. I've bought touch up paint before at Walmart for cars, and it never matches right. This stuff does.

You could try a paint shop before you order from Color Rite. When I did the fairing the painter knew the black was a dead on match to HD Vivid Black. A good painter can often spot it.

You can find cross references to automotive paint that Kawi and others use too. I have done that before.

I am not saying it will work every time but sometimes the body guy/painter looks and says. "yah that's Toyota cream pearl 2006" and saves you a bundle.

Sherwin-Williams Auto Paints did have some kawa codes.
Red and some others, but not 06' green.
I checked when I was needing to paint a trunk.
Keep in mind it's not just the color, it's the metal flake.
They thought they could get close, I bought the ColorRite and it looks like factory paint.
I haven't used the touch up paint, but if it's like the paint I purchased, it will work very well.

On my 06 Green/Silver the silver was a dead on match. The green was horrible.
