Help needed please - touch up paint

[benventura]

Hi,

My dear old Cooper Green Chim has quite a collection of stone chips & I'm thinking of trying to do something about the worst ones. I've used chipsticks - but the results are not too good and they don't last long. So I was thinking of using touch up paint to try to do a better job. Does anyone know the right paint to use & where to get it from?

Any other tips on doing this also welcome.

Thanks,
Neville

I've got a starmist crimson chimp and had the same problem - try Option1 who's details are below - they are often at TVR 'do's' and the advice they gave with the paint was spot on

I got some Cooper green touch up paint mail order from Auto Paint in St Helens. Their website is www.auto-paint.co.uk. You can order online, just give them the name and paint code from the handbook. Around £5 for a touch up pot if I remember correctly.

Got a small pot for my Chimaera (Cooper Green?) from www.paints4u.com Absolutely perfect match. Heartily recommended. The website has a facility to find the right colour but if in doubt just e-m or ring them.

Got some Cooper Green made up at my local Halfrauds the other weekend, seems a very good match. Its TVR code 167 (or is it 169 ) but definately not 168 as was written in my owners handbook
