Touch up paint suppliers

[Harlan_Kovacs]

Hello peeps!

Can anyone recommend a supplier for touchup paint? Ideally the kind I can use for stone chips that has paint plus a separate pot of clear coat.

I've found https://www.cartouchuppaints.co.uk/ who apparently can match it but I'm keen to seek out recommendations.

FYI my Chimp is the fastest colour; Birkdale green R2803.

Thanks!!

Hi, my advice on whether you’re respraying a large section of the car, or just touching up a stone chip, is always the same.

Don’t bother trying to quote your paint code to a myriad of suppliers, a new sample of paint will never match the paint that’s on the car after years of ageing.

So, just take the car to a supplier who has a spectrometer, and they’ll match exactly what’s on the car.
For as little as £10, you’ll have enough to cover years on stone chips

Fantastic advice. Didn't even know that was an option. Thank you very much!

No problem.

You may also find something interesting about your paint, too.

The spectrometer revealed that in the mix with my Blue Pearl paint (R2846) was Ford Ink Blue and Rolls Royce Peacock Blue.

Good luck
