Now that ive nearly got my kit car mechanically sound i want to address some of the more obvious paint chips and scratches and make it look a bit more acceptable before i start going out.n.about.

As i dont know exactly what colour it is apart from "Red", i need to find somewhere that can find out exactly which colour it is and possibly mix some up for me.

I dont really want to go to Halfrauds with a panel and just compare it to can lids, and someone has mentioned that some companies are able to "scan" the car or a panel and get an exact match?

So does anyone know of anywhere in Bristol/Somerset area that is able to do that?

Any help greatly appreciated.

`Chipsaway` might be worth a call. There are little one man band franchises all over the place.

Cheers, i've looked into that but they only do the repairs themselves frown

Anyone else know of any paint specialists who can paint-match and mix paint for me to do it myself?

No idea if these chaps can help http://www.cylex-uk.co.uk/reviews/viewcompanywebsi... but if they supply paint, maybe they have contacts who can do a paint-match for you so you know what colour paint to order?
