Touch up paint - where from?

Rob Bell · 11th November 2006, 14:22

Since my local MG Rover dealership (formerly Palmsville, then Phoenix Muswell Hill) closed last year, I now have to look else where for those elusive MG Rover bits and bobs. You know, the things you take for granted. Like touch up paint.

Went into the local branch of Halfrauds yesterday and asked for some Royal Blue touch up paint (there's another story connected to this - more another day I think!) - but found nothing on the shelf - and nothing in their computer...

Where on earth do I get Royal Blue touch up paint? Helpfully, they suggested calling MG...

Where would you chaps get touch up paint? X-Part/ Rimmer Bros?

Empty now Mike

Thanks. No dealership for miles... I'll get it delivered I think.

Need to spray a piece of plastic so to try and get a good colour match with leather for the seat re-trim!

Hi Rob, Land Rover Oslow Blue is the exact same colour it's just got a differant name. John.

www.paints4u.com will supply touch up paint in cans and aerosols to the paint code.
Delivery is quick and they also sell kits for touching up chips mixed to your pant code.

Hello Rob looks like you are local

Halfords in all likelihood can mix your colour - its just that it will be listed under 'British Leyland' on their computer. My Odyssey Blue JGA was - and was an excellent colour match by the way.
