Can anyone recommend where to get a paint touch up kit? Mole Valley are pretty local to me and I assume they can get it but are they likely to stock this sort of thing or be able to get it quickly?

Anywhere else that could supply this?

It's Mallory Green that I'm after.

Thanks

I completely agree re the quality of repair with a touch up. However, I just want to get the bare fibreglass covered to avoid moisture ingress - and, ideally, in a way that isn't too visible.

You've only just bought it, don't say you've had an incident already??
Well the story goes ... I screwed some padding to the garage wall to protect the car, since it's a very tight fit.

A great idea I thought. And it would have been if I wasn't the kind of idiot to not screw one of the screws in enough and therefore put a small scratch in it.

You can only begin to imagine how annoyed I am with myself!

I ended up buying something close (maybe Renault- I'll have a look) and covering the white/bright green chips and though it's very slightly different it doesn't notice.
If you could let me know what you used, that would be great. It looks as though Bespoke may be able to help me out but it would be good to know a colour that's close.

I did find somewhere that does touch up paints but they don't use the PPG system and couldn't translate (but thanks for putting the info in the FAQ anyway). They just wanted a 'code' which I don't have.
