Touch up paint supplier

Post by miniminor »

Anybody recommend a UK supplier of a surf blue touchup paint, just to cover couple of minor stonechips?
Bull Motif Mini spares was the only one I could find but they are out of stock and having problem with supplier.

BTW whats the paint code for surf blue?

You could try looking on Jawel Paints website, they are a company based in the West Midlands, which may be ok, depending on where you live, but I'm sure they supply car spares outlets & shops. They still supply cellulose if you want it.

oval coatings in sheffield still sell GENUINE cellulose for restorers ( one of the uk suppliers of REAL celly and 1 pack acrylic)
they have kept all the colour charts from the 60s and still have all the variants and formulas for all the old bmc colours

there is a few shades of surf blue they can always help with old colours

Thanks, I've emailed Oval. 1/2 litre is probably a lot more economical than a wee 40 ml touch up!
