Hello,

Where can I find Artic Silver paint for my 996? I expected to find some in Halfords but they don't seem to sell Porsche paints/touch up brushes.

Is going to my local OPC my only choice?

Regards,

Alan

What about buying enough to spray front and rear bumpers?

Where would the best place be to buy it from?
Or will i have to go to a Porsche Approved Bodyshop?
I'm in the Essex area so any help very much appreciated.

If you are in the south Essex (Horndon on the Hill) area I can recommend a very good bodyshop. Guy has worked on my Cayman and some friends 911's and Masser's. Nice guy and been doing it a long time. PM me if you want his details.

Alan, You could sell Amstrad and buy Porsche. Then you would have all the paint you want!

There an easy solution.
Take some regular Tesco cooking foil, cut to size and stick it (shiney side down) with Bostik glue over the scratch/chip.
I defy anyone to notice there has been a repair, matches Porsche artic silver perfectly!
