Got a few little chips that need touching up just to take your eye off them, given there any no subaru dealers near me can anybody recommend somewhere to get a touch up kit ? Is it better to stick with genuine or use another brand.

Car is crystal grey.

 

Get one from halfords mate, they mix up the colour for you and put it in a touch up pot

 

I didn't know Halfords offered this service - I've certainly never seen it in my local Halfords although they do have a very large selection of paints on the shelf although they don't have any Subaru paints on the shelf or listed in the book attached to the shelf.

 

Well the one in kettering offers the service but they prob all don't

 

It's not hard to google "Subaru crystal grey paint code"!!!! No shortage of threads on this forum either:

I'd go with paints4u, their matching is significantly better than Halfords and the paint seems better quality too. Get the paint with the lacquer premixed if you're just doing touch ups.

 

+1 for paints4u, stay away from halfords, bought some spray cans from then to spray my skirts and the quality was awful, came up all bubbly, bought two more cans from paints4u and to my relief they came up a treat, easy to order online aswell

 

Nor is it hard not to be a tool, try it sometime.

Thank you, this post was helpful and I appreciate it.

 

Trust me if I wanted to try I would succeed.

 

No worries, happy to help.

 

I've seen Subaru touch up kits on eBay
