Default Anywhere else sell touch-up paint?

I've had a touch-up paint on order from my local Subaru dealer for a month now, still no sign of it coming into stock. It's white, so I guess it's rarer than WR blue, but still it seems a ridiculous amount of time to me...

Anyone know of any way of obtaining one on the net?

Last time i went to Halfords they didn't do subaru...

Might eb worth calling a few dealers and seeing if they have any in stock and getting it posted out to you....

I waited 6 weeks for my Crystal Grey Touch up paint from Subaru. Had to come from Japan and spare part orders aren't exaclty quick.

As above Halfrauds, can mix pretty much any colour if you have the code, failing that most bodyshops will have a mixing machine.

I second that Dill. I got a very good match from Halfrauds in a spray can.

Cheam Motors have an online shop. Suppose you had best check they have it available after reading the Subaru UK info.
