Hi Guys

Does anyone know where I can go for touch up paint for my VX?

Some the 'reliable' outlets seem to be struggling with paint code and Pentagon cant help either.

Thanks in advance.

Paint codes for Holdens with other references for equivalent GM paint codes.

Update for all.

Had a nightmare getting the paint with endless 'dont recognise that code' type emails.

Finally sent the GM codes to a company but there's was only a sort of match. Better than stone chips but not exact.

Who would have thought it might be this difficult to to sort touch up paint?

Out of interest, what's the colour and code that you have?

Yeah, that's an unusual one! My goto website didn't come up with a match. Heron White seems to come up under a few codes (679F, J073, GII). Very few UK matches but did come up with one on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165489695605
