Does anyone know where i can obtain a touch up pecil for my 944s which is Granite Red ?


Regards

if its a standard porsche colour take the code off the sticker on the rear panel or from inside the service book and an OPC will supply you with one

In theory. Many colours are discontinued, but even Hellfrauds can make a little vial of paint good enough for touch-up from the code.

Personally i would go to your local paint shop with both the colour code and the fuel flap, that way a true colour pencil can be made up. Halfrauds is ok if your dont mind the colour being off by 10 shades, but going to a paint shop they can still mix a smaller quantity even if you end up having to buy a paintbrush to do it, at least the colour will match

Some time ago I went to Halfrauds for Guards Red ( LM3A ?) and was told that they couldn't mix it because of the composition of the dye being somewhat unhealthy to them!!
Ended up at an OPC.

as sarah said, if you need touchups or whatever just take the car or fuel flap to your nearest auto piant shop and ask them to mix what you need. they will custom mix rattle cans too i think they charge something like £13 for these but the colour will be to your car. i know guards pink is a hard colour to match but with a sample and a paint code its easy for them because its on computer with all the mix weights
