Rattle can paint close to Chamonix

did my engine bay, very happy. 

Was this just a 2-Stage rattle can project?

I think mines single stage - I also think it’s hasn’t seen new paint in some time so will get a sample looked at to confirm what type of finish is on it at present.

Probably a sample from the engine bay where there is a bit of old paint being exposed under flaking paint and also from the rear wheel wells. Thats where I’d like to refinish whilst rear suspension is out of the car.

Yes, rattle can base and clear coat

But OE Chamonix is single stage, so Automotive touch up has http://www.sanleandrocolor.com/

 

make up special paints; though I would try your local supplier first to see if they can do a single stage lacquer for you.

When the paint touch up question came up years ago here, Paintscratch seemed to be the favourite.

OOPS!

 

I mis-remembered the association with custom colors.

 

I thought the referral to San Leandro Color was from Automotive Touch up, but it was from Paintscratch.

I once bought a rattle-can of Chamonix from a BMW dealership during the early 90s.

 

Stay away from two stage paint. Even the best quality two stage is inferior to a good quality single stage. The clear coat on all two stage paints eventually peels. it is designed to last about 10 years on average. A good single stage will last 30-50 years and still shine.

 

Furthermore, two stage has that shallow artificial shine like a thin piece of glass. There is no dept to it.
