M350ZB Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Get in touch with holdcroft, there prices are really good, and miles better than any halfords s*** They also do spray as well, great people and i think you get a bit of a discount Quote
chrisyboy84 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 HELLO THERE I WILL DO A TOUCH UP POT DELIVERED FOR £10.50 INCLUDING POSTAGE. I HAVE SUPPLIED PEEPS WITH BREMBO TOUCH UP PAINT. MY OLD BOY OWNS A CAR PAINT AND BODY PANEL BUSINESS. ALL I WOULD REQUIRE IS THE PAINT CODE. HOPE WE CAN HELP CHRIS Quote
elecious Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 can this touch up paint be used to fill in the tiny little scratches you get around the car? or is this quite difficult to do? I hate getting up close to the car when washing it and seeing tiny lines of white where a tree branch has probably just breethed on my paint work Quote
chrisyboy84 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 YEAH IT CAN BUT IT WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS A SPRAY JOB UNFORTUNATELY. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND IT ON A LARGE SCRATCH IT MAY MAKE IT LOOK WORSE THAN WHAT IT IS. THE TOUCH UP POT IS ONLY REALLY GOOD ON CHIPS. HAS THE SCRATCH GONE DOWN TO PRIMER??? YOU CAN TEST THIS BY RUNNING YOUR FINGERNAIL OVER THE SCRATCH. IF YOU NAIL DOESNT CATCH IN THE SCATCH YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPOUND/ POLISH IT OUT. CHRIS Quote

CHRIS +1 I remember I traded in a car and saw the 'touch up' job that was done on it..... It looked like crap wheras it had a few scratches and the car was silver so barely noticable in the first place! Quote

M350ZB Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Buy the spray and there touch up kit, is a very good bit of kit bud, got both, only ever used the touch up kit, btu works a treat Quote
Shuck Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Would something like the paints4u website not be any good for you? From what I've read on Detailing World, they are meant to be pretty good. Quote
