So I bought another fox last week, its a 1989 lx 5.0 hatch. I got it dirt cheap ( for where I live anyway) but it needs a little work like touchup in the paint in a couple spots. I'm trying to do it as cheap as possible without it looking like crap. So my question is, can I still buy dark metallic grey touch up paint for my 89 at a auto parts store? or is there a color from any newer car that is really close? It doesn't have to be perfect just as long as it doesn't stand out alot.

Awsome thanks! To bad it'll cost me almost $20 to get it shipped. I'll check out to see what it will cost to get it from a body shop and go with what ever's cheaper I guess
