Dupli-Color Ebha09107 Arctic Silver Metallic Honda Perfect Match Automotive Paint - 8 Oz. Aerosol

Matched auto well, even after 9 years in the sun. Spray bottle allowed for feathering of scratched area. Used a dent puller and then painted area. Looks great.

Used to fix small peeling spots on a color sanded and buffed clear coat paint job that is 15 yrs old now. Surface prep matters, use multiple light coats. Sand and buff to match. 6 mos in, it looks good and matches better than expected. You can buff off overspray easily.

Good color match for my Mother-in-laws 1999 Civic. It had some failing clear coat and I wanted to make it look better on the hood/ABC Pillars. Dries pretty quick and I hope it lasts awhile. Always good luck with Dupli-color stuff.

Matched my paint perfectly but the tips suck they drip

I bought a used car that had paint missing in small dots that could be filled with a paint pen, but also long stretches along the inside A-pillars (near the windshield) where the paint had flaked off. They were bare metal areas about 8 inches long and about an inch wide, so I thought that's definitely going to need spraying. Dupli-Color is the top brand company for this kind of thing, so I trusted them. I masked everything off and started spraying. The paint came out very watery / runny, even though I was being careful not to overapply. I remembered that a decade ago the same thing happened with a different car I owned, sags and runs after spraying Dupli-color. I thought that might be a one-time fluke, but I guess not. The color match was good, but it's not going to be glossy. It took 3 applications with drying time in between to get satisfactory coverage. In retrospect, I wish I had bought an extra paint pen (or 2) and used the whole thing with the brush applicator, laying it on heavy, instead of spraying. The paint inside the pen is so much thicker and glossier, I think it would have produced better results, although it would have been time consuming. The only thing I'd recommend this spray for is a large item like a side mirror, where brush marks would be too obvious. Or long scrape damage on a rocker panel, where you just want to hide the damage with matching color.

Gather 'round, children, and let me tell you a tale of reasonable car restoration. In 2021 your boy was working two jobs: one a day role managing operations for a marketing agency for 8 hours, and the other as a dishwasher for a restaurant for the next 8 hours. In addition there was a 45 minute drive each way from where I live to the restaurant and back. So we are talking long hours. I slept maybe 4 or 5 hours a night. I had taken the restaurant job in an emergency situation (hey, 30K a year ain't bad when nothing else is coming in) and was sticking with it while I was feeling the agency job out. So I was working 16 hours a day, in the summer heat, 5 or 6 days a week. Friday night, well Saturday morning, really, I got off the restaurant job after many sweaty hours (no cooling in that back of house!). I had parked my 2004 Camry in a hotel gararge a block away and was giving a less fortunate fellow employee a ride home. As we got into the car, which was parked next to a massive rectangular pillar, your boy was blathering away at his aquaintance. My Chatty Cathy mode was in full effect. Putting the car in reverse without paying attention at all, I scraped along the pillar with the passenger side door. I don't drink or do drugs. I'm a good driver and don't have any points on my license. But the fact is that I was basically intoxicated after several months of 16 hour days with physical labor and little sleep night after night. I would never have done this under normal circumstances. I would have carefully looked around and checked before starting to drive, especially in reverse. But now my car was deeply scraped and dented, with orange undercoat glaring along that door. Ick. A few weeks later I quit the restaurant job. Now I was dating and man that bunch of digs and scrapes was embarassing! Calling around to some shops, I found their pricing to fill and repair or replace with a junkyard door was way out of proportion to the value of the vehicle--a quarter of the blue book price. No way! I thought I was stuck with the ugly orange reminder forever. In the spring of 2023 I started looking for options. What can I say, I am both busy and slow. Enter this paint. I bought a can and sprayed it on. I was not professional. I did it outside, in my driveway, in the wind, without any PPE. This was an improvement, but I learned about this can. It * did * clog and sputter. It * was * hard to apply with just my finger. I got a lot of drip down the door and thought it was me. But I've ran a metal fab shop and know how to apply spraypaint, so what gives? Maybe that I could hang or sit the object down for better angles, and I can't do that with the door? So the door was say 20% improved with this first pair of coats. You could still see a small bit of the orange, and somehow some purple, though. I waited a year, then got brave again. How about I learn, and this time get a respirator, a snap on spray handle that you squeeze with your whole hand instead of one finger, and another can of paint and try again? This spring, 2024, I tried again. The sun went in and out of clouds and pissed me off with the constant change of light and heat. The wind kicked up. I had taped the door off this time and still got some on the windows. The surface ended up kind of matte, a bit rough for my taste...but overall the experience was much improved. I got two coats out of this can, then snapped the above photo to send to a friend who has seen the car in person many times over the past several years. "Holy cow!" he said. "That is so much better!" He reminded me the purpose of this kind of work is to make your car or whatever look 8% better. It doesn't need to be a masterpiece. He has been holding off improving his own car because of expecting and knowing he'll be disappointed by wanting a 50% improvement. Look--this is say 3 or 4 coats total. I haven't put clearcoat on it. Since May 2024 it has stood up to spring storms, heavy rain, hail, long trips back and forth from North Carolina to Virginia. We'll see in a year or so if it needs further coats or what (remember, I am busy and slow). If you're waiting on making an improvement to your car, and the listing says the color will match, it will well enough. Don't expect perfection but do expect visible improvement. Invest in $30-50 of other supplies like the respirator (mine was $17) and the clip on handle (around $8) and you'll get good results. For what I invested I feel this is a valuable and worthwhile improvement. I hope this was entertaining and informative for you.

Right color for a project

The color match is very close to a factory color. On my Chevy SSR front grill spear, the Dupli color Torch red is slightly too orange, however acceptable. IMPORTANT, the can is only 8oz. Be sure to get enough product, since you will need several coats depending on the primer color. The can pressure is lower than other product brands. Heat the can to 100deg F, with hot water, to ensure good spray quality and reduce "spitting". Seriously, this is for very small jobs. To get a proper, high-quality finish, use pint/quart size Dupli color paint and clear coat with a LPHV spray gun.

Was awful. Spurt out. Splattered all over no even coverage.

Faulty. Do not order.

yup

No coincidio el color de la pintura. Decia que era blanco oxford, pero no hizo par con la del vehiculo que queria reparar.

It was used for being the correct colour match for a car manufacturers paint.
