Sill panel paint

[Jek318is]

The black paint on my sill panels and rear valences has a few chips and is wearing through in places, so i'm going to respray / touch them up on the first warmish day i get the chance (will prob be a month or two yet tho!)

Does anyone know which type/colour code of paint to use?

I found a useful guide here which suggests using rubberized underbody paint, but there is no mention of shade/gloss or brand.

Black stone chip from halfords, worked a treat on mine.

Black stonechip,but buy from a car refinishing supplies firm they are a lot cheaper than halfrauds,its more hard wearing than normal paint.

but black stone chip is only a protective layer you still need to put a top coat on it to finish it off

if its wanting to be black its better to to just leave it as it is as the black piant can still chip off the stone chip but thats my opinion only I have done it many times and never had problems

black stone chip looks sh1t and dull not like the sills when they left the factory nice and shiney and as for paint chipping off it you need to key it up better

cheers folks, i'll get some black stonechip, and if it doesn't quite match i'll experiment with some black top coat
