Do all stores do it, as I know the one in Eastbourne doesn't. I thought they would as they do all the Alloys and Add-ons.

No, not all... My local one doesn't - Didcot. I think only the larger stores provide that service. Went through the whole process of trying to get WRX Blue touch up paint "off the rack" but nowhere does it!!

Cheers

Dealers charged me around £8.50 for a touch up pen.
Had a spray can mixed at Halfords to paint the orange wedges which cost around £9.50 (it wasn't a bang on match but near enough)the Halfords touch up pen was around £7 (again mixed on the spot).
For the price difference you might as well get a touch up pen from the dealers - at least you know it will match.

I don't think any of my local stores do it....
I'm on the East Sussex/Kent boarder, so does anyone know of anywhere local ?

There is a place off of Birch Road in Eastbourne that can mix paints to your exact specification.

They also have the paint scanner that you lay on a flat panel and it can tell you the exact mix required to match the colour.

I think it's Spray Master or something like that.
