Can't find chip/scratch repair kit for Havana Red

[EdP]

Somewhere in the city you live in is a paint supply store that Collision repair shops buy paint from. They have a mixing station and will fix you up with a small amount of color and clear for whatever color your car is. Genesis or Chevrolet or Ford, whoever does not make paint or sell paint. If you are not aware most colors of the same brand car have 8-10 variances of color, collision shops don't just open a can and paint, It takes skill to mix colors correctly and then almost all panels are blended to match. Touch-up paint no matter the brand is a "close" match at best. But best match will come from paint store checking your code and mixing it for you.

If you cannot find a local store, there are places on line that will make it for you. I bought some for my Sonata a few years ago and it was an excellent match. Don't recall the name of the place, it was four years ago.

The auto paint mix shop will generally only be able to mix nothing smaller than a pint typically. They have a formula code that only breaks down to given quantity of paint. I have seen online places that advertise custom paint pins available so I’m guessing with the right equipment tiny batches can be made that the regular auto paint shop can’t do. Some colors are just difficult to replicate. I’ve been told silver is one of those and maybe HR is too? To get the best match I’d remove a side mirror and provide that to a paint shop to do a custom match. A qualified paint shop will dial the paint in to match. Comes at a fee though.

These kits I am talking about are more than just touch-up paint. From what I understand the liquid also acts as sort of self-leveling filler. Once the liquid is dry, you buff it down lightly with the supplied cloth and I suppose it cures. The idea is that with fewer steps (and perhaps multiple applications) you would get the same sort of repair with liquid and cloth that you would get with filler, paint, wet sanding, buffing, etc.
