Hello all, my wife has recently bought a rather lovely 500S in electronica blue
The colour was one of the things that sold it to us, however it seems like this could be a negative now, because we've had a couple of stone chips and a scratch, went to dealer, who say Fiat don't offer a touch up paint in this colour. Rang Fiat customer service Italy who said the same!
The scratch and chips are only tiny, but have got to bare metal, and the cheapest quote I've had so far from a body shop is £100. I can't stomach paying that especially since the scratch is not even visible at eye level (hidden by the boot handle)
Seems a bit bizarre to me, how do they paint the things if they don't have the paint!
So I guess it's off to Halfords, etc, for us. Does anyone know if there is a paint from another manufacturer that is a close enough match?
