I am repainting my '68 roadster in its original Safari Yellow. There are some interior parts that need touching up. Anyone know where I can get this color in both a touch-up bottle as well as a spray can, or has someone found something close that's off the shelf? Thanks... Mike68

Most body shop supply stores can mix the touch-up paint for you and should also have a source for custom mixed aerosols. Just ask.

Thanks... I'll check with the body shop that's doing the work.

I used Tower Paint for my Classic White Roadster and my 68 GTO Vert. He will custom mix the original colors in a spray bomb. He can only mix in enamel though. Great to work with but I will tell you that yellow can be real tough to match after a few years.

You can reach Tower Paint at 1-800-779-6520.

Hope that helps,

Oh yeah! You can also have the body shop set aside some of the paint he used on the roadster and use the prevail aerosol jar and cartridge to spray. This may be the best way to get a good color match. They are available at almost any auto paint supplier and most large parts suppliers like Pep Boys, Auto Zone etc...

Thanks to all for responding. I'll probably need more help as the car progresses through its 'body on" restoration.... Mike68
