Had a tyre blow out today and the wire from the tyres made a couple of small chips and scratches on what was a near perfect paint job. Trying to look up for some touch up paint but not having any luck, prefer a place that's local but I will order online if that is the only possible way of getting some. Any ideas? Thanks

Josh.... usually the local Autopro shop can mix up your paint code no probs and put it in an aerosol can for like only $30 bucks... my older bro had bought some to touch up his 5 series Beemer a few months back as well as some clear coat and they matched it perfectly!

Really? I went to a dealer for my old VZ calais and I thought that was the only way to aquire some that matched perfectly but I will try an autobahn or supacheap in the next couple of days. Thanks!

No AUTOPRO..... its easy to get it mixed up with autobahn... and I find supercrap are useless with paints.... the stores I went to don't do any colour code matching/mixing of auto paint whatsoever.

burnouts always equals loss of paint.. hence why i only done it in my stroked vk.. had to repaint the rear guards many a time. i always wondered why a spinning tyre/wire makes a stone chip not a scratch mark...

No it wasn't a burn out haha I was travelling at 110kmph on the highway and it suddenly blew. I was having vibration through the streering wheel about 2 minutes before but it wasn't that bad and I was going to stop in a town about 10 minutes ahead, but it blew and rubber went everywhere.
