1998 S70 Touch Up Paint - Polar White

Post by ferocity02 »

I have a large area (~1 sq.ft.) on my front bumper that is a little banged up. I want to touch it up and need paint that will match as close as possible. I want to use an aerosol paint and clear for ease of use. I'm then going to wet sand and polish to blend it all in. Not looking for a perfect repair, but something that's not terribly noticeable.

The Duplicolor Perfect Match that you can get from Autozone is usually pretty good. I've used it before with good results. But they have about a half dozen different kinds of white to choose from. These even have a Polar White but it states it's for GM.

Has anyone used this paint? Can anyone recommend a color to select?

I did a similar repair on the front bumper of my black 850. The tag in the engine bay has the paint code listed. I just went to NAPA and gave them the paint code and they mixed up a batch of paint for me in a spray can.
