forget it m8, i have some and used it on a small scratch, the colour match is as close as...................well it aint!
best to find a car paint supplier and have him make you some up, some do aerosols in the right colour but they cost a few quid more

Are they really that bad?
I've got a little scratch on the wheel arch, and a few stone chips on the bonnet. Wouldnt this do the job do you think? Was yours a genuine subaru one? I know the halfords ones are utter ****e, but thought the subaru ones may be better?
Thanks

i got one from a Subaru dealer, isn't that bad. Does the job for little stone chips etc, but wouldn't use it on anything bigger than that.
Only cost about 6 quid i think - phone them first cos they normally order it in.

i would'nt even give it to you because i would feel guilty, to be honest i dont even know why i still have it! is just one of those useless things that hand around the glove box

aerosol prob cost you a tenner, but if the paint guy knows his stuff the mix should be spot on

I don't know if I'd trust myself with an aerosol to be honest. I'd rather a brush I think, as I could be more accurate.
Thanks for the advice though.

OK lol
do you have any bodyshops near you that do subarus? if so go along with a small pot and ask if you can have some WR blue for beer money
body shop AWAYS have paint left over from jobs, you might get lucky make sure he gives it a good stir.

BTW you will need some clear laquer to finish the job
oh and b4 i forget, go to an art shop and buy a fine 'pencil point' brush if your doing stone chips, some ultra fine wet and dry and some buffing paste NOT NOT NOT T-cut as this has amonia in it and bleaches your paint! do you notice all those red cars that look pink? been t-cutted at some point!
