Discontinued Paint for Rover 75

Cogsey · 14th November 2020, 12:45

My 20 yr. old, 2.0 - V6 Connie is in need of some 'touch-up', but the White Gold (GKN) colour was phased out in 2004/5.

Anybody know where I might be able to get hold of a couple of spray cans, that will still work? I don't suppose any have been produced for 15 years or so!

Some shops (don't know any in the UK) can mix the right colour for you based on the paint code of your car. In the Netherlands there are even sellers that have a colori meter so it even matches the aging of the paint (if you would like to).

I am sure a UK member can tell you where to look for a (set of) spray cans.

Most towns have someone who mixes paint to spec and puts it into an aerosol can . Ask at your local garage .
If all else fails there's always Halfords who do a next day service ......
