touch-up paint

What's the best option for a small amount of paint to do stone chip's etc, car is 18 year's old

[whipsey]

if your me you can always ask the freindly sprayer working at the same place as you to mix you up a batch

Halfords do a scratch repair kit. 9.99 iirc

use a cocktail stick to dab the paint into the stone chips. u wont get any nasty brush marks and u can almost hide the chips if ur good

[david106]

To be honest i want to start again with the stone chips as the paint that's been used is not quite the right colour[lachs] silver

From the stelers you can get a spray can 150ml. Spray into a holder and use coctail stick (tomtom) or a magnifine galss and pin, capilary action will draw tha paint up the pin, and when you place it on the body work you will see just how much you need, do it in layers.

As for cleaning out the old, still use the pin

will the paint from the stealer match ok

best colour match ive had is the main dealer cans at Ԛ£5 odds for a 150ml can.halfords made up paint was the wrong shade 2 out of 3 times

[david106]

it's lachs silver by the way

Yep used the stelers paint for, front grill,mirrors and rear spoiler and realy can't see the diffrence, if you need to do a larger area then take you colour code to a auto shop. I got 1/2lt for Ԛ£10, thats what I used to wet spray the spoiler.

will the paint from the stealer match ok

the sterling silver i got was an exact match, cost me Ԛ£11.50+ vat for 150ml + 150ml of lacquer

if u go in and give them the same number paint code thats found on the nearside suspension turret under the bonnet u will be fine. some paint codes have a variant number. for example arctic silver has 6 variations. u can tell if it has because after the paint code u will see a " / " with another number after it.
