Give halfords the paint code and they will mix it!

The official Subaru touch ups i've had were both a darker shade than the car and it's solid red
the metallic touch ups may be better

7 squid sounds about right for the touch up....

if some tw@t had rear-ended me, I would be claiming for a new bumper! bollox to the touch up stick - don't you have a sore neck?

I need a crystal grey one after bumping up on a low barrier in the car park yesterday. Jeez this paint must be thin as paper as it's gone through to the black plastic in a tiny area. Do I just need a touch up stick or does it need some primer and clear finish ?
Cheers

You should have got the blokes number and said give me the £90 or so to have the likes of 'Chipsaway' to sort it for you. I'm sure if it's his fault he'll be glad to bypass insurance, after all who's got zero excess these day's..?

I've done the same in the past. Everyone goes away happy..!
