Touch up paint

[trev260764]

I need a bottle of touch up paint for stone-chips for my 92 S2 red (Guards Red?). Where from? Porsche main dealer, Halfords or http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390057317356&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Or should I use the wife's 'hot cherry red' nail varnish which is similar. And you can get 3 for 2 at Boots.

Halfords don't do it , porscheshop are good, just got one myself from them last week, you can order it online from them.
Total cost including post to me was £16.39. You can also get an aerosol can from them that costs a little more.

Are there a few reds, or just 'Guards Red'?

Guards also goes by the name Indian Red, but its the same colour (the code is the same and it was always called Indischrot in German).

Dont get it from Porscheshop its way overpriced. Try 'Romart', http://www.romartautomotive.co.uk/ 01384 891281 they are a paint shop in Birmingham that supply Porscheshop with the paint and porscheshop then put a sticker of their own on the cans.
I bought a can of guards red aerosol off porscheshop that cost about £20. I needed some more and noticed the romart sticker underneath the porscheshop label so i called them and they supplied me another can exactly the same that cost £7.95 inc VAT. My car is guards red and the code i used was 80k as advised by the guy at romart.
I can deffo recommend them.

It is a shame that someone has pulled the rug from under Porscheshop.....

There is a guy on ebay who mixes up porsche paint for about £10 inc p&p, mine was a perfect match too.

This is it. I got the 1990 blue S2 about a year ago after owning four Imprezas, it was low on history and on the V-car reg so it was cheap. I didn't like it too much to start with but as time went on I really began to love it. So much so I wanted a newer, nicer one etc etc. It's from your neck of the woods Phil "" Leeds. Turns out that the previous owner to him lived in the village where I was brought up!

This one is in good shape, a few rust spots on the sills which is usual so I intend to get them attended to. The bonnet and roof were really poor and going orange / white so I thought these would need a re-paint. I had recommended Auto Glym, Super Resin Polish so I got a bottle along with their Finishing Cloth and it's worked an absolute treat! Recommend it highly...

This S2 has a working (and lit) clock as well!

The old blue one is available to anyone interested..

Where in Leeds are you Phil?

Halfords can do it as long as you have the name or paint code. If its not on the system, they can call the paint supplier for the mix.

or just get a pen from your local OPC, I bought Mairtime blue and Arctic Silver only the other month for my 2 cars, ISTR each kit is about 8 quid. I still have the same Indian Red pen that I bought 8 years ago.

Hi Trev - it looks a nice one. I like them in red. I'm based in Cross Gates, I grew up in Aberford which is York way. Let me know if you are about. Do you go to the R7 meetings near Monk Fryston?

OPC ? just got a quote from Exeter for touch up pen @ £9.97, they don't do Panther Black anymore however maybe you will have more luck with Guards Red?

Autopaint St Helens were good for me - I think I paid about £18 for an aerosol can and a touch up stick and postage. Colour match was perfect as far as I could tell. (Using Porsche paint code)
