Need to get spray paint to touch up a previously poor repair on the front wheel arch a couple of inches long and enough to respray a tech 1 front bumper. Can anyone recommend a paint supplier?

Needs to be rattle cans as I don't have any spraying kit. Just want to get the car looking ok for this year and once I have the cash get it in for a respray of the whole front end.

Bumper has been sanded within an inch of it's life just need primer and paint.

I've read that you need 'placticized' paint for the bumper, and the BMW manual says to use 'BMW acrylic paint + 20% BMW soft-face additive'. Apparently you can buy it in rattle-cans from the dealer. I'll let you know when I finish sanding mine! :D

Think that may have been me that suggested them. The weathers still a bit damp and cold here so havn't bought any yet. Will hopefully get it next month will post back once done.
