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?

Sorry, I have no idea where to obtain touch-up paint but the BMC code is BU.35

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.

Re: Touch up paint supplier
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!

I can highly recommend OVAL paints, fantastic service, the only people who could supply me with cellulose Marigold paint.
