Looking for "paint" color to fix scratches on fiberglass tub
We have a "bone" colored fiberglass bathtub with some scratched areas
on the outside. What type of store would sell touch-up paint/coating to repair the (external) scratches? (the local home centers and bathroom stores don't seem to stock this). I am looking for a physical store (not online) so that I can go in and see the colors accurately before purchasing. Thanks |

Maybe a shop that sells paint touchups for cars could match what you need?

Thanks - but actually the problem is not really a "porcelain chip" so much as trying to cover the area where the fiberglass coating has worn off. Trick is more one of getting the right color I think which is why I am trying to figure out what type of store would stock a wide range of colors... |

I've read the urethane coatings the refinishing pros use is the best. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |
