Hi tapps :smiley: check my post out that I posted a while ago. theres also a link from a seller on ebay, where you can get your touch up paint. had many various colours over the years from this guy. but be warned.. yours paint finish is most likley a 3 stage paint finish like my magnesium grey. and it's very difficult, if not dam right impossible to get a perfect finish with this 3 stage touch up. but is ideal for touching up minor stone chips. just remember to apply the base coat very lightly/thinly.. because this determines the colour shade, then apply the top coat, then finally the clear lacquer. but I would only use this 3 stage paint touch up as a very last resort. if it was a light scratch I would try "t cut" polish to try and blend the scratch in, or use a light cutting colour coded polish to polish out.
