Touch Up Stick

[Tattooboy]

Where's the best place to get them for our cars?

Thanks

[VinceM]

www.chipex.co.uk by far the best versions, and great service. Used on my black Ro and always works ok. In my experience the other pens are just st.

Thanks for the link Vince, so the only Phantom Black code they have is 80u for the VXR8, nothing for the GTS.

Although the name might be the same, in daylight, my paint work is very metallic, looks almost dark grey, is that the same for black VXR8's ?

Tried to get Heron White from all over even HSV in Aus.

In the end found Leonard Brooks Ltd 01708 342560 who made me up 100 ml can for small change, great service.

ian. What's the paint code on the HSV plate as I must admit it doesnt look as black as tbe phantom black vxr8s, looks a tad lighter

For what it's worth I got my tipp-ex style jobber from Vauxhall for about £15 IIRC. Not great, but not too terrible...

I got a colour match pot of paint from halfords blends in really well

Maybe it would be wise to book the dentist before trying.

Best to ask them directly just to be sure.

WA690F phantom metallic is a GM / Holden code that should be obtainable from someone lime chipex etc

Well, I've bitten the bullet and ordered a kit, you can put your paint code and car details (make,model,colour and year) and they guarantee a match.

Kit looks very good, thanks for the link

When I saw the title I thought this was a thread about a sexual act on a recently banned member.

You all can do if you want, he might need it, another part for his build has been delayed for 3 weeks !

Apparently, if you take some Chocolate Hob Knobs with you, it distracts him so you get longer to have a fiddle............. ask JamesHSV
