Touch up paint

I need to buy some touch up paint unfortunately Mazda don't stock them anymore. I've tried repco and supercheap auto. Repco only sells by the can and it doesn't match at all. Supercheap don't stock at all. Suggestions?

Been looking for galaxy grey which I think is 32s from memory. Any ideals where to buy?

It's probably best to go see a car yard scratch and dent repair guy and get a colour matching paint from him. I got some from the local Mazda dealer's chip repair man for mine because the genuine Mazda stuff was nowhere near the colour of the paint on the car.

Autobarn can make the paint up for you for about $20, the guy here made it up and checked it against the car to make sure the colour was good.

I bought a small bottle of Twilight Blue for my NB from an EBay seller in the UK. Price was good and the paint was a perfect match.

I bought a small bottle of touch up paint a while back from an auto paint store. Was only about 10 dollars and I just have him the paint code of the car, colour matched perfectly.

JLDM is right- go to a auto paint supplier- easy to source and fast service- sometimes while you wait.

Ended up buying mine from ebay which was OEM. Cheap and worth it.

I'm not surprised about the restriction- they would always have been hazardous goods. But repeating- go to a auto paint supplier - they will be able to match and supply it without a problem. Where do people think that auto professionals source their paint?

Hi.
Just go to autobarn with your paint code it will come in an aersol to touch up spray some in the lid and use a cotton bud to apply.
