Alpine White Touch Up Paint

[Guest]

Hi - anyone know where I can get Alpine White Touch Up paint - My OPC just laughed at me....

Porscheshop do it, I bought a can and it's a good match on my 1988 car. Not cheap though compared to the normal Halfords cans (it's about £17 for a large can plus VAT)

Look here

If you only want a small amount let me know, I'm in East Sussex, and could let you have what's left of my tin if you're local-ish (which bit of Kent?).

Thanks for the offer Phil - much appreciated. I couldn't find this colour at any Halfords.

I phoned a local Car paint guy & he says he can match it up & put some in a spry can if I need it.

Thing is, I only need a tiny bit for a stone chip I got the other day on one of my front arches.

I'm up near Tonbridge........

Well that's not far, I'm in Uckfield. I'm on holiday from next Monday, but if you want the can let me know. I'm not sure how much is left but I didn't do a very large patch so there should be enough for you. I don't need what's left.

PS, you can get a VW Alpine White in Halfords - what's the betting it's not going to be a match though. Never tried it myself.

Tell your OPC they are not trying hard enough!
I had an excellent 1st response from Porsche Centre Nottingham Tel 0115 986 0911 (*Kevin Munford) on 11th April 05
I live in Lincoln but work near M1 past Nottingham & had 2 Alpine Whites then - both needed a little bit of Touch up.
No problem for them - I rang in the morning & collected it the next day on my way home from work - they (*he) even offered to pop it in the post - now thats service as it should be.
Its the pukka Porsche ACRYL LACKSTIFT Touch up Pencil - a small (12ml canister wth brush in the top) :-
L 090 E01 £4.26 + vat = £5.01 I did ask for discount also but didn't push it on this amount.
I went back yesterday & purchased 100ml Plastic Polyglass rear window cleaner (for removing the tree Sap on the new hood/rear screen of the S2 Cab) & 1Litre of Alloy wheel cleaner & did get 10% discount for pcgb membership both items total cost £14.36.
I'm sure if you give them (part sales) a ring they will pop 1 in the post for you.
No problem with the color match either.

i got my alpine white touch up pen from the OPC in Leeds. Just gave him the paint code and he ordered it in - no problems.

Most Halfords stores will mix up the paint for you, as this isn't an "on the shelf" colour, if I'm correct the colour code is a VW colour - "L90E". The aerosol cans come usually in 300ml jobbies for £9.99, and the Touch-up jobbies are 100ml plastic tubs with a brush in the lid for £7.99. How do I know this? I work for Halfords and one of my jobs amongst others is to mix paint for customers cars! I also know the colour code of Alpine White as my own 944 Lux is the same colour, but beware there are varying shades of this particular colour, so try to find the right shade before getting any paint made!
