Paint matching

[Ian and Lins]

We had the van totally resprayed a couple of years ago, and it's suffered a couple of scrapes since. Does anyone know where I can get a paint match and maybe a rattle can made up? While the sprayer did a brilliant job I don't really want to go back there because of other (ahem) misgivings.

if you know the name of the colour then most auto paint suppliers will do a rattle can for about a tenner

Without meaning to hijack this thread .... I have a similar issue.

My van was roller painted some years and some owners ago. I would like to do some local repairs (windscreen is a prime area) but want to match the colour with some rustoleam....

Thanks

Unfortunately I don't. Thanks anyway.

many refinnishers have a spectrophotometer and will be able to sort you

Nearly there; what/who is a 'refinnisher' mm? (From one at the back)

err, a body repair shop , ask any that are local to you , should do it for a freebie if you ask nice.

Oh right, gotcha. Thanks again.
