Default Flint Grey paint touch up stick

Anyone know of anywhere you can get a touch up stick ( or a small pot ) of Ford Flint Grey paint ( for touching up stone chips and the like )?
Flint Grey as on the 2wd Sapphires

Cheers

Most likely

The irony of starting a thread like this, is no matter how specific your search criteria you never seem to locate the prior threads on the subject that get automatically linked to your new post at the bottom of the post ( and that answer the question you asked...... )

If you can find anywhere but Halfrauds go there! Halfords are a bunch of fooking jokers, completely unhelpful, expensive and the one i went to took 4 hours to mix one rattle can

If you don't know the paint code they won't do it anyway, i was told i need the code and nothing else will do. This in spite of those little ads before top gear on Dave where the guy walks in and asks for paint for a red 62 mini

Couldn't find there arse with both hands and a map imho

Just tried the Shrewsbury one Ade and they said it is NLA ( no longer available ) from Ford so I'll have to take my chances with Halfords or a local motor factors

Yep, I have tried Border Automotive, a local paint and panel specialist, and they said the computer doesn't list it but if I can get the paint code off the VIN plate they will try and make some up for me
