Re: [alfa] Parts source / advice wanted: 1995 164LS Outer Door Handle

Hi Karl:

If/when you locate a new door handle, check with Tower Paint.  They can 
custom mix and fill an aerosol can with touch-up paint.  I had them make up 
a few dozen cans (a group order) of Spica air cleaner paint, and both the 
color and sheen were perfectly matched to the sample I sent.  Very good 
spray nozzle on the can, too.  I'm about to order a can of Nero Pastello to 
repaint the mirrors on one of my Spider's.
