Paint suppliers, aerosols preferably

Charybdis · Nov 3, 2012

I only seem able to get touch-up pens for my Cypress Green Classic and even that is on eBay.

Could anyone suggest a supplier for tins or aerosols of the paint (Code HBL I think). I know I could get a tin made up probably but would ideally like a couple of aerosols for when I refurbish the lower tailgate and other panels.

i know jawel paints in wolves make up aerosols to your requirements and so do halfords.

Si beat me to it LOL

you might find quite a few places will actually make up a spray can of paint, if they are good.

The parts place I use make up in either rattle can or pots (for those lucky enough to have access to proper spraying equipment). Normally takes a couple of days for them to get some mixed up as they don't do it on site. Though they will also paint match if your paint has faded through age.
The majority of parts places will offer this service though, so nip down to your local supplier and ask at the counter. If they don't do it, they will more than likely tell you someone who does. By buying locally you're supporting your local economy and helping to keep people in employment.

My local Spares place make these up on site, takes around 20mins to do & the quality is superb for a rattle can, although the touch-up pots can be a little hit & miss for color match, why I've no idea.
The aerosols though are brilliant, I've had some fantastic results from these & the color match (for a rattle can) are about as close as you will get. I'm sure they are Acrylic based & it is far more forgiving than the old Cellulose based Paints, which was **** thin & would run faster than Jimmy Saville's last shag.
They are part of the A1 Motorstores group, so find one of the same group in your area & you wont go wrong IMHO.

I used Autopaint think they are up north somewhere from memory about 7 or 8 quid a can but colour was spot on and quick delivery

I've used these people Choose Car paints from the UKs biggest online colour database

Colour match on Ardennes Green was good, reasonable service couldn't grumble.

Thanks for all responses. Will try to source locally.

Found this site not sure if it's of use?

If you look at the bottom you're paint colour is there and also the part number.... Punch this into google search, and rimmer bros had mine in stock (Ardennes green) hope this helps.
