Where can I get touchoup paint!?!?!?!

Guys and girls, where oh where can I find the touch up paint (spray can and tiny touch up bottle with the pen and brush). I have a '92 plum and black. Please correct me if the "plum" color is not the technical term. I have been to Pep Boys, Advanced Auto, NAPA, etc, and am having a he!! of a time locating the "plum" colored paint. Anyone have any ideas or directions to point me? Thanks. . .

Hi Bean, You can also get the touch-up paint at your dealer. Take care, BOBB

Ofcourse this is the only paint that will truly match.

Paint Scratch does a very good job of matching the paint.

I second that. Their dark teal matches perfectly, once the clear coat is applied.

For what it's worth, their felt-tipped pen applicator can be frustrating to control. Get the bottle and brush for fine work.

You may notice that with some of the older colors, the Subaru of America touch-up is bad when you get it. I've ordered some for people when I worked for the dealership, and it usually comes through as a dried out brick with a brush.

I have used the paintscratch.com paint and the match is perfect.

Thanks Guys

Thanks all for the info. . . Granted - My '92 needs more than just touch up, but there is no accounting for trying to keep her at her best until I can get a paint job done on her.
