Touch-up Paint

The Trooper · May 3, 2006

Does anyone know where the best type of places are to get touch up paints from? I tried Halfords once but it wasn't great. I can't find out the exact colour name/code of the paint as I think it was resprayed to a non-original colour, so will they be able to look at it and try and match it as close as they can?

Sorry, i was really happy with the Halfords match. if you get to a body shop, they'll be able to colour match some for you, but it wont be spot on... had that with the bumper on my Clio.. really slightly off.

Main dealer.

I got Tipo Touch up pens (Paint colour and laqour) from Fiat Desira Southgate for around a fiver.

Ive never been impressed with the stuff you get from Fiat, always seems way too watery and just runs

I can't go to a dealer cos its non standard paint. Would a body shop be able to mix something and put it in a spray can, instead of a touch up brush?

Yes, a lot of places will. They should also be able to do a custom match for you to the car's colour instead of just the paint code (which is what you get with Halfords).

Yea I need a custom match, it's for my old V. Dub camper, I thought it was original colour but been told it's not.
