andrews65 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi, I need to touch up some chips on my 2008 Focus (Vision Blue). Is it OK to use non-Ford paints for this, or is it safer (better colour match) to go with genuine Ford paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I would personally use Ford touch up kits as the colour is likely to be a better match. Halfords do touch up kits with the right Ford colour names but i can't vouch for their match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'd go for a Ford one. You know the colour match and paint quality will be good and you can get them real cheap on eBay (I paid a fiver for a genuine kit of paint and lacquer from a Ford main dealer on eBay).

jeebowhite Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah I used Halfords one for ford before, and it was always too light or too dark, I got a touch up kit from Kia for my car, £8.99, cant recall what I paid Ford for theres, but at (possibly / hopefully) under a tenner... is it worth not going to Ford?
