Touch up paint anyone???

  Top of Page

Hi all,

Does anyone know which touch up paint is a good match for Obsidian Black? I got some pretty deep scratches on the rear bumper ( probably from the wifes reverse parking technique, y'know stop after you've em) and I don't think they'll buff out

Cheers

Hi Bleak,

I went in to Pep's Auto Spares today and got a 60ml container (more than enough) for $10 ..
I gave them the colour code (33A - Atlantic Pearl Blue for me) from the engine bay and they matched it perfectly... I touched up the front bumper and you can still see the little scratches and chips, but they don't draw your attention any more and just look like blemishes in the paint. Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Yeah I got a bottle from autobahn, but the match isn't that great, (you'd think black would be easy) so just wanted to know if anyone knew of a perfect match??? if there is one

In the past I have removed the fuel filler flap and a paint supplier used it to do a custom match. They start out with the factory code then go from there.
Problem is, its not cheap and you will probably have to get up to half a litre of paint as a minimum but it will match.
Some suppliers are able to put it in a aerosol can of you wish.
