Touch up paint

Post by MacK » Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:59 am

Where's the best place to buy a paint touch up pen thingy?

I went into MMC Edi yesterday and the parts guy said "whats your paint code?", I said "Gunmetal", he said " We need the code to order it in, we get it made up specially." :shock:

So the dealer parts dept doesn't know the paint code for the cars it sells...... :?

I got home and found out the code number, by downloading a pdf from the Lotus website! :roll:

But where is the best/cheapest place to get it made up? Any recommendations?

The paint code is on the VIN plate on mine???

I got some mixed by Halfrauds, it's not a very good match at all, far too dark.
