Touch-up Paint - Help Required

[RAS]

I am trying to source a tin of touch-up paint, but to date have failed to find somene that can match the paint / paint code.

According to the handbook, colour is Olympic Blue Pearl which is paint code P195.

The car is a 96 Griff

Any assistance would be appreciated; original source, alternative paint code or somone around North Bucks who might be able to match it?

Cheers
Roger

Try Jason at Webb's autos: http://www.tvrbodyshop.co.uk/contact.asp - he managed to provide a paint match and touch-up pot when I was there for a headlight upgrade to my Griff earlier this year /M

Try www.paints4u.co.uk. Got a perfect match for my Cooper Green Chimaera and silver Skoda Fabia. If the matching facility on their website doesn't find what you need then ring or e-mail them.

I bought some Olympic Blue Pearl (P195) in a scratch repair kit (£32.99) from www.paints4u.com which includes a 'how to do it' video. I also had a small amount of paint given to me following the respray of my Griff. In both cases I've found that when used for touching up chips the colour match is not quite perfect - probably because it's difficult to keep the 'particles' in suspension.

I emailed paints4u before I made this post, but Paul emailed back to say they had not got a listing for this colour. Armed with this additional information I will get back to him.

Andrew, is there a reference number on the kit or paint tin I can quote?

Cheers

Iv just had trouble matching a Pearl colour following the law changes in March regarding use of solvent based paints. The water based took a few attempts at colour matching.

The law says that existing stocks can be used up first so if you are lucky you will find a solvent based one...
