I have been told to just use model paint to touch up the colors on my mustang emblems and gas cap. The Red/White/Blue part. Can anyone recommend a brand and exact paint color or code that I should use for each? I was planning on just brushing it on.

I used model paint on the emblems of my 65 coupe 8 years ago and they still look new... I am thinking about doing the same thing on my friends coupe as well.

As for brand, I am sure they are all about the same, can anyone verify?

I did the same thing for my glove box emblem last year. I used whatever the standard model paint that they sell at Walmart is, using a very small brush, and it came out great.

I went to the local auto zone here in town, and bought car touch up paint, that comes in the little bottle... worked great.

What about colors though? Any idea which come close to the original?

I used Testors brand model paint on my emblems and they look great. Straight colors - gloss blue, red and white, appeared to match very close.
