Question Source for BVM touch up paint?

I had a gear failure on my BVM Bandit and now have a scrapped nose and wingtip that needs some paint touch up. What is a good source of paint to use on my Bandit? It has a standard paint scheme with orange, black, and white.

Thought someone would have answered you buy now. You can have the paint matched at any PPG store, Dupot, or even a NAPA paint store. Not the NAPA Auto store. Same company though. NAPA Auto paint will also put it in a rattle can if you don't want to do a two stage paint. Good Luck.

jctpro,
Go to bvmjets.com and search for "Touch-Up Paint for...."-found in their left-hand column ("Tips & How-To's") and Hot Topics in the right hand column. He provides pretty detailed info on touching up runway rash.
