They just supplied me with a touch up pot (Olympic Blue Pearl)with brush for 4.99 plus postage, the colour match is spot on and they couldn't have been mor helpful

How old is you car?
Has it been garaged during it's life?

Answers to the above will indicate how much fad it may have encountered.

Rosso is a barsteward at best to get a decent match IMHO. smile

Bloody hard job, you might make it look worse.

Rosso Pearl is in effect a silver car with a red ink added to the lacquer, don't try and do it yourself is the best advice,

If you had it resprayed a year ago can you not contact the relevant bodyshop?

Mine was resprayed a year ago, and I was recommended to use Rover Nightfire Red (which I did) as Rosso Pearl was impossible to match, is prone to fading (hence mine had a respray after a bump), and difficult to obtain.
