The family fleet needs a bit of TLC. Am I best to go to each main dealer in turn or is there an online source that can supply the touch up paint for different makes.

Just looking to touch in stone chips and the like.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

Have a look on eBay for the specific colour as there are some suppliers on there.
Paints 4 U online are also pretty good.

I recently had some paint from Chipex and it was a really good match, worth having a look.

Is there a “best” U.K. supplier for small touch up pots, in terms of paint match and quality of the product when applied.

I have an annoying chip near the rear door on a Guilia QF competitione Red that I want to touch in.

Chipex advertise a lot and are not cheap, but I want the best. Thoughts anyone ?

Chipex is the best I’ve used.

Not cheap though.

Just wanted to respond on this. I used Chipex. Was really impressed with how simple and easy it was to use, and the results. This was on a car with Tri-Coat paint so they supply 2 separate pots of paint to layer the paint on to get a great finish. Colour match was perfect (just give them your reg and they do the rest).

I had about 5 or 6 road rash dings on the front including 1 rather deep (but small) chip, and one large (~5mm) on the rear wheel arch.

A bit of patience and I've been impressed with the outcome, even with my ham fisted attempt. I have 1 or 2 other areas to touch up but would definitely recommend Chipex.....I guess it's one of those "you get what you pay for" moments....definitely worth it for me.
