    So I've been looking all over for touch-up paint, even a can of matching paint for my Speedway Blue Metallic (8P1) and it seems near impossible to find locally (Quebec/Ontario Canada).

    Every store I have checked is either out of stock, discontinued or simply doesn't carry or ship Dupli-Color Color Match to my location (touch up pen or aerosol can).

    I know for an actual spray can for larger jobs, I can get it mixed at NAPA (or similar automotive paint stores) but I'm looking to see if anyone knows of any colors that are a really close match? Or where I can get the actual matching paint? I'd be curious for just a touch up pen and even aerosol cans as well.

    Colors I've seen that are similar:
    • Bmw estoril blue
    • Chrysler intense blue pearl
    Thanks!

    I have a Speedway blue Tacoma and I found touch up paint from automotivetouchup.com. You can get it many different ways, including spray can. I got the brush for small touch up areas and it is pretty close. I got it a while ago so I don't remember pricing. They were the only ones that I found when I was looking.

    I have checked them out before and just took another look, they don't seem to ship to Canada, and with the conversion rate, it wouldnt be worth picking it up in the states.

    I'm wondering if there are any other options available.

    By any chance, do you know if their paint pens and touch up bottles have the clear mixed in? Or are they just a base coat?

    I'm not sure about them shipping to Canada. May have to call them to see and find out about rate difference. I bought the base coat and the clear coat is in a separate bottle. I don't know how there paint pens are. I haven't had much luck with those on other vehicles I have had. Sorry not much help.

    I know this is an old thread but thought I'd post my experience.

    Tried the Electric Blue Metallic Chrysler paint from Canadian Tire on my 2005 Echo.

    It looks quite good in most light conditions though if you look closely you can tell it is different (slightly darker and more 'metallic'). My echo is pretty beat up and has 410000 kms on it so I'm fine with it.

    25$ instead of 70-100$ for the real thing online though (and a lot faster and less shipping hassle).

    I’m looking into redoing the paint on my hood and roof. I’ve got a speedway blue ‘09 and the sun has just eaten through the clear coat :/ I’m looking for a matching paint and haven’t found and places with reviews or any actual feedback on the color match of the paint. Have you had any luck or info you could update us with? This blue is too pretty to lose…
