Hi,

I've got a few places on the bodywork which could do with the paint touching up.

It's that blue metallic (see photo)...any suggestions as to where I can get a can?

Cheers

I use the touch up stick from fiat but before i apply any of the paint i use a small amount of metal primer on the chip and once it drys apply the blue paint and then the clear lacquer.i have the same colour as you and this method works well on it,thanks choc1903

Its really easy to make a complete mess of things with a spray can TBH. If the paint damage is minor (and I cant see it in the photo if its there) then I'd opt for the touch up brush, unless of course you are a dab hand at prepping, spraying & finishing off.

Thanks,

I'm OK on spraying...done quite a bit over the years. For very minor touching up I'll spray some of the aerosol can contents into the spray can lid and then use a small artist's brush to apply it. That works well.

The back door hinges have scuffed a bit and a quick spray would sort them out....Finding the right colour aerosol is my mission at the moment.

If u want the touch up stick code i will look it out and give you the number off it

I've got a white fiorino 58 plate,i simply went to a body repair centre, and they mixed me some white and put it in a spray can.
Cost £15 inc a tin of thinners to clean my brush out if i was just to touch in stone chips.

Hi,

Well I think I’ve got it sorted…eventually found the colour code on a sticker back left underside of the bonnet. Well hidden.

Turns out the code is 597 which translates into the colour “Blue Teseo”. A quick Google reveals that there are a few firms who will mix the right colour and put it into an aerosol.

www.paints4u.com is one and I think Halfords also do it….any of them any good?

Cheers

Avoid halfords,i went there first,the guy had no idea what he was doing,even with the correct paint code he got it wrong.
I would go to a proper paint shop,thats what they do!
