10 year old birdcage is in need of some minor touch up...some flaking and fastener bleeding but over all in good shape. Lowe's sells white spray paint touch up on the bottom shelf next to there birdcage frame and bracket section but i was hoping for something that would better match the our 10 year slightly faded look.
Suggestions appreciated.

If you can scrap a small piece of the paint off, you can get a computer match done at any paint store. Or, if you can remove a piece of trim.

Thank you..looking for spray paint as first option.

There are many different "whites", the first thing will be to look only at FLAT or possibly SATIN finishes as I am assuming the existing finish has worn over the years. Then your next task will be to look at the various colors of white to see what appears to be closest. Since you are using spray paint you can fade the new paint to the old and it will be much harder to see the difference.
Hope this helps.

Rustoleum satin white spray paint

[Kim Fowler]

I used a Rustoleum matte white paint on our rusty fasteners. I was afraid spray paint would splatter on the screen or lanai floor. The new white paint is too bright, though I tried to lightly use the brush to “feather paint” around the fasteners. The old and new whites don’t match, but it looks better than the rusty fasteners did before I painted,

This poster has the best answer. T&D sells both structural white and bronze paint. It's formulated to exactly match the white or bronze finish on extruded aluminum, and when used properly no one will even know you touched up an area.

You'll never get an exact match with any of the off the shelf spray paints... and you'll never get the finish to match with any brush on paint.

Please google the safety of using certain kinds of paints around birds. They are very sensitive to smells. When we touched up a wall in the room where ours fly, I kept them out of the room for several hours to allow the fumes to dissipate.

That's going in the book!

TD has touch up spray and small bottle but the sales person says it matches there current and "new" birdcage color...no fade factor.

My husband bought new screws at Whites Aluminum in Leesburg, he took out the old and put in the new, looks great.
