Having read a couple of threads on chip paint solutions, it slightly worries me that some have reported poor colour matches with some of the favoured brands. So thought I’d ask if anyone with Titanium Silver has a good (recent?) recommendation?

(Car is a 2009 vantage)

I have a tungsten silver (paint code 1262) 2007 V8 Vantage. I have also struggled with paint for chips. The best match I found was from a company in Northern Ireland (off Ebay). Your best bet is to buy one of these and then mix it yourself with additional silver/black until you are happy. One warning, don't do this and then get Chipsaway or a similar company round as their water-based paint and cellulose don't go well together. On another car I had to remove all the cellulose I had used to stop a reaction. I ended up with small tub of water-based tungsten silver which Chipsaway left me. That was a good match for stone chips. Other areas I have resprayed myself with cellulose spray cans from Northern Ireland. It looks fine, but I had to blend it in and then lacquer it. If in doubt, leave it to professionals!
