That will do a better job than me. I cleaned up my Infiniti finally and I have a few nicks in the paint. The car is pearl white and the stock touch up and dr color-chip are not even close. Looking for a good fix.

Anyone have a company on Long Island or queens?

Thanks.
 
Yes. I have gotten from
The dealer. 2 part
Lanka
Dr colorchip
Some place in Arizona that claims to make a 1 part that is dead on. Nope

My car is a 2013 Infiniti m37x sport
Color is moonlight white. It is a pearl white.

I have had success with solid color touch up from the above companies.

The pearl is what is going to make it near impossible to match. White is hard enough without the added pearl.
 
An that is the issue. I feel that if an man painted it, I can find such a man to fix it. And my quest continues.

Will keep you posted.

But the man (or robot) that painted it originally was using a spray system and laying down a unique/one-time pattern of the "stuff" that makes up the pearlcoat. Duplicating that is the challenge. I've never had Pearl White touchups turn out great, and even doing whole panels that match is challenging for the best painters.

I do wish you luck with this, maybe you'll find a miracle worker who can do it. My "good" painter, who wont work on modern/normal vehicles, is one of those guys who can sometimes do the seemingly impossible, but he'll spend a whole day doing/redoing a few chips.

Jeff, I too feel your sentiment as I'm pretty much under the impression that anything mechanical can be repaired for a price. That said, if only it weren't pearl...
 
I will continue my quest for a good artistic touch up person.

Email Larry Ammo, it's quite a unique situation. He may be up to doing a small video on how to touch up white. His black g55 video was awesome. We're not that far away from him.
 
its a good idea. What have I got to loose. Email sent, if he comes your invited!

I have done is very successfully on solid colors for both myself and friends. I have attempted my pearl car on several occasions and I just cannot get the color right. I can get it filled, sanded and shiny but the color is far off.

Best to do it yourself, AMMONYC has a great guide on filling/levelling.
