Miyata Royal Blue paint match
I have a Miyata 1000 that needs some paint touch up. In the catlogs it is called "Royal Blue" and it seems to have a little bit of purple in it to my eye. Nearly all of the scrapes have the primer coat intact, so I only need a small amount of touch up. I can probably mix some Testors to match. But I would appreciate advice.

As you already mentioned Testors, think about the other alternative, nail polish, since it comes in plenty of colors, e.g. have a look at this, although here it was mentioned for GIOS, might be good for a start Alternatively, if you have a car body shop around your area, they might have good suggestions or reference books. With those you can order touch ups online in any form.
