Aust350z Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Courtesy Parts in the US have it. But your local auto store should be able to mix something up for you with an excellent match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 OK. I have some tiny marks to do. Will it need lacquer if it doesn't come with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just been to Halfords Gave him the code and he got out 7 mixing paints and measured them in to a styrofoam coffee cup by the gram (smallest amount 0.2 gram) on to a very ancient scale on an uneven surface. He mixed with a lollipop stick and said "does that look ok" I said "er....no - too dark" We went outside with coffee cup and lollipop and held it up to the car and it looked spot on. Back to shop and ingredients poured in to small container with applicator. He priced it at £8.99 and I said I wouldn't pay that much because he wasn't sure if it was the right colour. He said fine and got it for £3.50. Will report success of match when stops raining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
