Unhappy Obsidian Black Touch Up Pen?

I've had one on order from the dealer for approx 5 months and it's still not in!

Anyone know where I could one?

Go to any paint shop and they will mix you up a touchup.

want to know the reason why you haven't got it yet?

Well it's because the Japanese goverment have recently classed paint as a dangerious material and won't let it be shipped overseas! It's true!

They will mix the colour for you, either in a sctrach kit or in a can. Nextday service and they are very helpful.

If it's just for the (inevitable) stone chips, just get the bog ordinary Halfords black touch-up pen. Thin brush at one end and a hyperdermic type thing at the other (ideal for stone chips) For tiny paint repairs, as Los Bravos sang in the '60's "Black is black"

Correct, I had a white one on order for months and finally got it a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how they get around it, maybe Subaru has a way of smuggling them out of the country

I have a silver one on order from my dealer. They say that the health and safety issue is just meaning that the paint has to be tested before it can be shipped. This is just leading to long delays, rather than actually stopping them from sourcing the paint.

They said that they had managed to get touch up paint for other people, but lead times were around 2 months atm. In 2 weeks time then, I should have my paint

Otherwise its off to halfrauds or similar.

I got a silver one from halfords to touch up my rear wheel arch when some paint was pulled off, the brush they give you is crap tbh.

Go speak to a body shop supplier, you'll get a PROPER little bottle with a decent brush.

I have had a white touch-up paint on order for over two months now, still no sign. It's most annoying as I have one chip I would really like to sort out :-(

Royal Silver touch up kit, ordered yesterday at 1 pm, sitting on my doorstep at 9 am today!!!

And I only paid for the 3-4 days delivery, which was half the price of the next day delivery.

Thanks gents - just ordered some from the Paints4u link as posted.

My local halfrauds didn't stock it, and still no sign of any stock at my stealer.
