Your Paint Color Profile

2A - Mist Silver Metallic

The Look

This is the grit of the early eighties. It's the shade of the AMC Eagle clawing through a snowdrift or a Concord parked in a suburban driveway. It isn't flashy. It's industrial. It's a workhorse color for cars that refused to quit. It looks right on the Spirit because it doesn't try too hard. It just works.

Under the Microscope

This is a metallic finish. That means it's packed with tiny flakes. Silver is a tricky beast. If you apply it too heavy, the metal bits bunch up. It creates dark spots or stripes. You want light layers. Thick coats will ruin the effect. It's about patience in the garage or the shade. Keep it thin and let it build.

Best Practices

Locate your data plate on the driver's side door jamb or the firewall. Before you spray or dab AMC Mist Silver Metallic (check for code 2A), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Test the color on the included card first. Silver changes shade based on how you apply it. Keep the container moving at all times. Give it plenty of drying time between passes.

How to Find Your AMC's Color Code

AMC paint codes are hidden on top of the radiator support; engine grease and oil often make them impossible to read. Typical format is BS/GBS; only the BS portion is the color code. It can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc. The first letter is the Year Code, which makes color codes confusing. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately AMC lists codes as BS. AMC has many two tone combos on some cars and often omitted the secondary color information.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
