Best touch-up paint? T Red

[mw98gt]

I have a 2000 Toreador Red CSVT with a generally good paint job, but there are a couple paint chips missing throughout the car. What is the best touch-up paint and method for applying it? Thanks for any advice!

if you go into advanced auto they have touch up paints and a book you can look in and it should have your touch up color just match the 2 and your set to go. there is no good method to touch up paint just dont splatter or over do it

I buy a aresol can of the color matched spray paint. I take a dixi cup and spray the paint in there until it pools up a little. Then I take a painters detail brush / hobby brush and touch up. If the scratch/chip is deep I usually hit the spot a few times to help fill it in.

Does anyone happen to know the exact SKU or color name that duplicolor labels the equivalent of Tred. I think I saw a Tred dark and light. Thanks!

Look at your paint code and match it to the label. T-Red paint code is FL. I've used the little touch up pen/brush combo lots of times and it matches great. I also had some mixed in a spray can for one of my JP covers and it didn't match as well as I wanted it to.
