Touch-up paint: Where to buy

[winters]

Howdy,

Just wondering where you guys would recommend getting some touch-up paint from? I'm not really sure how these codes work - it is quite a rare pearl colour - but if I have the paint codes below could somewhere like Halfords do it? Or should I order from somewhere else?

Thanks in advance.

TVR CODE/Color Description/Brand Color Code/Paint System
R3296/WILD OYSTER/VRT6B/2K
R3296/WILD OYSTER/VRT6B/AQUABASE

www.paints4u.com have a very good reputation, although I haven't used them myself (yet)

I got a pot of touch up paint from my local motor factors, Car Spares in Cheshunt.

They had my Cerbs colour, Halcyon Atlantis listed in their books. Was an excellent match too.

I got mine (Avus blue)from my local BMW dealer. The salesman walks out with the receptionist to have a look whilst I am in the parts department. "Nice condition for an older Porsche" I overhear him say to her as I am walking back.

"Thats why you sell BMW's" I say with a wink to the girly.

ETA: Actually I have just re-read this and it doesnt sound as good as it did at the time. Oh well.
