Sorry if this has been asked before. I want to touch up the stone chips on my bonnet. The car is a 986 is Zenith Blue. Where should I source my touch up paint from? Thanks all.

Check out Amazon. I recently bought some paint on there for a fraction of the OPC price and the match is perfect.

Always best to test the colour match in the boot or somewhere out of sight before getting too carried away, wherever you buy the paint.

Genuine Porsche will always be the perfect match (not to say others arent) but it's on average 4 times the price..

I'm looking for touch up paint too, but my car seems to be a tricky colour that the companies recommended in this thread don't have a record of.

My car is Gulf Orange, with paint codes L998 or L019 - I think the latter is more likely. My OPC said they would have someone call me to supply the paint, but they didn't call and they don't seem to be replying to my emails about the mess they left in the car either. Any recommendations for suppliers of this colour? Thanks!

Check around to see if there is a car paint supplier local, the place I use has a colorimeter and scans the paint, they sell touch-up pens, aerosols and various sizes of tins, if I remember correctly it was £10 for a small tin...I've had pearl metallic and solid paint matched perfectly.

Top tip...use a toothpick to dab the paint on the chip.

I went with a MPEX pen from Motornuts in the end. I will let you know how it goes.

Yep or a rolled up piece of tissue to a point is what I use.
Always check for an exact match in a hidden area and pay the extra ££ for an exact match if need be.

Anyone got any recommendations for some Shark Blue touch up paint? Both wing mirrors got scratched at the local “Magic Carpet Car Wash” furious

No it won’t be invisible unfortunately. I’ll get them done professionally when my painter can fit me in. The car is being used this weekend at a car show for people with sensory issues. It’s a silent, indoor show with limited numbers. Just my luck that this happens now rolleyes
