Colour matching with Holts

Postby redwards » Fri Feb 08, 2008 12:03 am

I have chips in my bumper (some up to the size of a 50c piece) and some small stone chips that need spraying out. I have some experience with aerosol touch up paint, so figured that would be the best option.

Aerosol touch up paint is readily available from most of the big car parts places (like SuperCheap). SuperCheap stocks a brand called Holts.

I have a white 1994 NA, colour code PT. Apparently the colour is 'Chaste White' in the old colour code books, and Polar Chaste White in the new books. Of course, they don't stock either of those colours, nor do they exist.

Has anyone had any experience in choosing the right colour from the Holts aerosol range? Really keen to hear form anyone with a PT-coloured MX5.

Would it be worth calling Holts direct?

If you go to an automotive paint seller, they can make you up your colour in a spray can.
More expensive than off the shelf, but it will be the right colour.
