Touch Up Paint

Just been to the "stealers" enquiring about touch up paint for my car (just to stay on top of one or two minor stone chips)

They wanted £25.75 inc VAT for their kit

Anyone found an alternative reliable seller?

I am after White Platinum Pearl (Ford Code UG)

    There are a few but I only want a few mls of touch up paint - not worth mixing for most I guess and there are no worthwhile chips to repair as such

    Hi All

    Have you tried Amazon?
    I got a small bottle of Ruby Red that is a very close match. You have to look closely to see the difference.

    Happy motoring

    I've searched the usual places - there are some charlatans out there - which is why I was seeking recommendations on here

    @eddie eastwood I have been in touch with that guy since I posted here - he is very helpful and advised me that a spray may give a better finish for my colour (he does not do sprays!). He is number 1 reserve if I don't find a recommended supplier :thumbsup:

    Just checked my paint mixing scheme data and Its a difficult one as it`s a three stage paint,  eg  basecoat/ coloured clear, and clearcoat lacquer on top.  Probably wont need lacquer if its a tiny chip but would need other two stages to get anywhere near the colour or as best you can from a touch up paint.

    @eddiek thanks for that info - if nothing else I have learned a lot about the paint on my car and I think I now understand why the "touch up" kit from Ford is so expensive, and why so few off the shelf suppliers carry that combination.

    I had been visualising a nail polish type pot or a scratch pen type affair when in reality it is much more complex than that - I may need to eat humble pie and be nice to the man in the Spares Dept :whistling:
