How well does Duplicolor "Universal Black" Match?
Has anyone used the Duplicolor touch up "universal black" on a large panel, like the tail gate?
Anyone that has ever went to an actual paint store and bought "black" paint realizes that there are tons of variations on black. I was curious about some real life results of using "universal black" on something larger than a handle or the small stock fender flare.
For those that are curious, it will topped in 2k clear.

I don't paint, nor do I pretend to know how... but I've got two fellas at work that spent half their life painting cars, trucks, buses, and let me tell you... there is no such thing as a "universal black" nor any "universal" color for that matter.
Heck, even batch to batch, the color could be off by a slight index making a whole cars paint job look like absolute crap.
They both got out of the painting because they realized how bad it is for you. Good money in it, but bad for you health-wise.

I wouldn't use universal black either. But there ARE online sources for custom color paints. You wouldn't have to drive or mix your own.
