I have a few paint chips on the James Duff Radius Arms which I would like to touch up. Does anyone know what paint would match up? I have called Duffs and they told me Rust-Oleum Brilliant Blue. I bought the Brilliant blue and it is way to light of a blue. :p

If you want a dead on match, find your local powder coat shop and tell them you need a spray touch up of Cardinal powder BL -01. I used to powder their stuff when they were here in Washington and that is the powder they use. Cardinal paints has it available in spray can.

Thanks guys for the fast response. I cant ever remember seeing Cardinal paints for sale in my area so if I can't find that I will give the Krylon a try.

Cardinal is a powder coat supplier you would have to get it through your local powder coating shop or you could check online. At the web address I attached.
Where are you located?

Your closest Cardinal is here in Washington state. Their contact is 1-425-483-5665 you could ask for LeAnn and tell her Steve from doghouse powder sent you.

Ok, so I picked up some Krylon true blue and it is closest blue I have tried so far but not a true match, it is a little lighter and a little bit to much mauve-ish compared to the Duff blue. I will see about calling Cardinal on Monday, in the meantime I might try adding some navy blue or black to the krylon mix.
