Hi there,

Has anyone found a supplier for good paint matching. I’m after a pot of touch up paint but not the pen stick type.

The car is Crystal White Pearl mica - so not sure how straightforward that’s going to be.
Just really need a few drops on a brush which I can blend in with polish and fine wet and dry.

Thanks
Jason

For that amount you’re best getting a touch in paint kit from mx5parts. I’ve used their paint it’s pretty much a good match, that was the crystal pearl white and it comes with the finish lacquer.

Thank you - did you find your code on the drivers door?

Not on the car as I could see, only one crystal white metallic, it’s 34Kcode, here below select the drop down menu for colours.
Use these below and they are genuine Mazda paint
I made the mistake of buying some cheaper matching colour paint off eBay, it was that far out it turned out to be silver. Never wasted it as matched perfectly with my silver SEAT daily drivers paint colour.

I’ve found the Touch Up Paint Factory are excellent for quality matching paint. My chum even got a match for the dreaded Soul Red paint.

I’ve used Chipex in the past on a black BMW 3 series and it was a very close match.
