Hullo all, I'm looking for an aerosol of paint for my graphite grey Amazon (I've got the code at home).

Has anyone found anywhere that can put one together at all?

I had Graphite Grey (#80) made up at Halfords. Not bad, and they can do a pot of brush touch up at the same time using the same mix. To be fair to them, it was a trial and my car has been resprayed, so may be not as close to original as it might be. Depends what you want to paint and how high your expectations are. Most large towns have paint suppliers that will make up a rattle can, even tint it to match a part you bring in. Warning: Don't go back the next day and expect to get exactly the same shade if you find you didn't have enough to finish the job.

Autopaint are very good, I use them all the time and I've painted plenty of cars.

I want to replace the wing mirrors on the Amazon with peep mirrors so will need to fill and touch up the mounting holes.
