    A few years ago I found an EXACT match for touch up paint that worked with my red '82 308. I don't remember what the DupliColor # was.....I believe it was a GM color though. I now have a red '85 QV and would love to find the touch up paint. Does anyone happen to know of any match?

    Last year I bought some red touchup paint for my '84 Mondial QV, Rossa Corso #300, from www.paintscratch.com. It's an absolute, dead-on match to the Glasurit paint on the car. Definitely a good source for touch-up. I ordered it over the internet and it arrived in a matter of days.

    I found a Ford red that matched my paint perfectly. The red I got from paintscratch didn't match. Mine is not original paint though, could be the difference.

    The simple way to do this and not worry about sun dulled paint or a repaint where the color is not the exact Ferrari paint code is to go to a auto paint dealer. I went to a PPG paint shop and they come outside with a special camera and take 5 - 8 pictures on the cars paint. They used the rear deck (flat area) and then take the camera inside and run the picture data through the computer and it spits out the color mix. He goes to the paint and does the mixing and there you have it a perfect match. I had a small touch up bottle made up for $6 but now have the paint code if I need to buy any larger size can of paint. Oh it only took the guy about 15 mins. to do the whole deal.
