Default Pots of Paint?

I've been told to steer clear of the Subaru touch up paint, as it doesn't match (WR Blue anyway).

I've phoned my most 'local' subaru dealer about getting a little pot of paint which they would use for spraying cars etc, but the guy wasn't exactly helpful.

Does anyone on here have some, or know where I can get some? As I really need to get on top of all the stone chips/small scratch I have.



Thanks a lot
Chris

I got mine from a local paint retailer for around £5 (Scot Paints Lanarkshire)

But I'm sure Halfords do it also with a paint code.

Does it match ok?? As I've been told they aren't too good.

The previous owner has had one, and it's a totally different blue. Obviously, they could have used BMW blue or something,

just look in your local yellow pages for Automotive Refinish/Paint supplies in your local area (Brown Brothers, JC Apollo, Autopaints, Autocolours etc etc), and see if they will knock you some up.

Some may not, as its technically for professional use only.

But be aware, no matter who or what make the paint is, it will always look a different colour if applying it via brush rather than spraying it.
