Paint Colour

[Stefhanie]

I have several chip marks on my Red Beat and had hoped that I could get a touch up pen, but saw the posting below and it seems it's not that simple. Does anyone know how I can get a touch up pen ?.

Cheers

A place that mixes car paint will be your best bet, you want R80 Festval red. I use a local branch of Partco, ive had aerosols mixed and other paint. they should be able to do you a small quantity for touch up.

If you cant find anywhere, give me a shout and i will try to get some for you.

Steve when I go to partco do I have to quote the colour "R80 Festval red" ?, Thanks for the help.

Thats the one, tell them it is Honda Festival Red code R80, and that you want some paint suitable for touching up, most likely cellulose paint. Not sure what the smallest quantity they will do you will have to see.

Then using a small artists brush or even a sharpened match stick just to apply a small amount of paint to fill in the chip.

One last thing Steve- Do you know if Halfords would be able to supply the paint or just find a PartCO ?.

Cheers.
