General Touch up paint.

[Bantam1958]

Can anybody recommend a source of touch up paint Rosso Amore for a 2013 500L? The only online suppliers I can find are in the US!

If you know the paint code, go to a decent car accessory/autofactors. Some of them will mix an aerosol while you wait.

They should be able to 'look up' your car colour in their books.


Have a look on Ebay .. scroll down until you see 'mixed to match your car's paint code'

Thanks for that but I'm really after a touch up pen rather than an aerosol. Halfords tried for me. They found the colour code but no 'mix recipe'!

Fishers Lincoln, they are brilliant, they will do you one in direct gloss, so no clear etc http://www.fishermotorfactors.co.uk

Amore red is a 500X colour not a 500L shade.

Amore red is a 500X colour not a 500L shade.

Not true. My colleague also has a 500L in Rosso Amore.

Ah you don't get that model in the uk

 

[Bantam1958]

Believe me you do. It's parked outside.

 

[simon_16vpunto]

Oh ok. I've worked in a fiat dealer for 6 years and never seen one or heard of one.

The metallic red you get in a 500L is opera red, amore red is £1000 worth or tri coat paint on a 500x

I brought the car being told it was Opera Red but the codes under the bonnet are 'VR926/A 108,108B.PRT. which come up as Ross o Amour. Is it me?

 

[simon_16vpunto]

Do you have a pic of the car handy. Opera red is darker than amore red

 

[simon_16vpunto]

Vr108b is opera red, there's a genuine fiat touch up pen ?

[simon_16vpunto]

Code Vr926a is opera red with a white roof- I'm assuming you have a white roof and door mirrors?
Your car is 100% opera red.

Then Bi colour paint jobs get a different paint code to confuse things.
If it was all one colour it would show the paint code for opera red vr108b.

Thank you. You're spot on. Very helpful..

quite strange that they name it 'rosso amore' on the color sticker then .... FIAT
