Default Touchup color paint for GX460....which is best

Guys,

I just received the touch up paint bottle from https://www.automotivetouchup.com/ for my 14 GX460 and it was almost perfect match. I also got touch up paint from doctor color chip and it was not good... my paint was Satin Cashmere Metallic. Only thing is that I had to build up the paint. Wet sand it with 600 grid, then 1200 grid, and polish....well worth it.

The “not good” got me but the Dr. Color is the winner?

No, I did not use the doctor color chip paint. I used the paint from https://www.automotivetouchup.com/. I found it best to wet sand with 2000 grit sand paper. Then, polish.

Good to know, thanks! Ordered the same (color code 4U7) to touch up a road chip on the edge of the hood.

I got Tungsten Pearl and clear bottles from Automotivetouchup too and it matches really well.

OEM touchup paint is pretty good. Only thing is you have to mix close to 1:10, paint vs clear coat for starfire pearl.
