Computer Bone paint
 
I've googled the heck out of this...looked at MCM and others and
surprisingly coming up with nothing.

Doesn't anyone make a "bone" or ivory color computer touch up spray paint?

I ain't finding it.....thanks for any help.

What is it you wish to touch up , is it Plastic or Metal ?
Here in Canada I have used Touch up paint from just
regular Hardware stores to touch up Metal and you
cannot tell the difference.

Hi...

I suspect easiest, fastest, and cheapest might be to
just chip a little flake off of the back or bottom,
and take it into one of the big box auto parts stores.

Compare your little chip with some of the thousands
upon thousands of auto touch up spray cans. One of 'em
has to match.

Try visiting a hardware store. They'll have an entire isle of spray
paints suitable for use on a metal case.

Car paint cans. Better, you can have a large can made to order or
match your sample, works out cheaper than multiple small cans, and
the pressure is more consistent.

Try TEXTURED Rust-oleum, but also CAMOFLAGE Rustoleum.
Textured is best, matches the "pebbly" finish, but it might not come in
exact color. I know the camoflage does come in right color.

Some bigger hardware stores can blend up your color and put it in a spray
can for you.

I've seen similar colors in hardware stores, if I were you I'd pick up a can
and respray the whole case, it's not a car, shouldn't matter if it's dead-on
original.

If you're sanding down and repainting or trying to cover blemishes yes,
otherwise the original paint underneath should provide the texture.

Hi!

These do.

It took a nasty basement flood to kill the few that really died. Most were
fine after drying out and cleaning up.
