Default Where to buy touch up paint for Flint Grey

Just wondering where I go to get some touch in paint. Can't see anything on eBay, naturally Halfrauds doesn't stock anything so old.

Where do I go, just want to fix stonechips and a couple of scratches until next respray work done.

Well I'm getting into detailing, so I now have a rotary polisher, plenty of fine grit wet & dry, plenty of cutting polishes. It's gonna look better than leaving the scratches/chips untouched.

Hi!! I work in a bodyshop distrubution company, Carlac but we dont have a branch in Liverpool !!! You may have a local brown brothers or check your local phonebook for your closest .. They will knock you up a 10th of a litre for next to nout and should also give u a touch up kit if not just use a normal touch up brush for now till you get it sorted!! Just take your paint code with you..

Wouldnt care i have loads of flint grey kicking about mine is in getting a full shoot now..

Hope thats of any help!!

Julie

Does not matter how old the car or colour is it is always still availible.. Unless you mean from halfords ect in a rattle can?? Paint companys still do formulas for all colours no matter what there age is...
