hi peeps dose anyone know where or if i can get toutch up paint in a spray can as i have managed to scratch the main body inside where the doors close on both sides whilst getting the clam off/on when the cam belt was done. so overspray and blending wont be a prob as i can mask up the clam and door area and you shouldent be able to tell if there is a slight colour difference i hope. any help/info would be greatly apreciated

P.S the colour is azure blue (B20)

you need a paint factors really who will mix you up a pot of the right colour (don't think Lotus actually do that). ICI probably a good bet, though don't know if they sell to public. Where abouts are you?

were I you, I would give you local colourworks franchise a call - it'll likely be around a 40 quid job done by a pro. With hassle and dicking around it'll likely cost you that to do it yourself!

that aint a spray dude.....and believe you me touching up a car with a paintbrush is not a great way of trying to improve it (unless you use hamerite and a 2 inch brush - lovely!)
