Touch up paint

[Sharon]

Hi all. I could do with touching up various bits on my MK1 2004 jazz. Trouble is that I don't really know the exact colour and where to get the paint. Can anyone offer pointers please? I mean, it's listed as green, but it's a certain tone. Pic attached.

On the passenger side B pillar should be a plate with the Honda colour code

..and once I have the code where can I get the spray? Could do with collecting not posting.

Order from local Honda dealer

Don't get Halfords to mix it. I did that once and it was nowhere near

I got mine from Cox Honda but that does involve posting

And they don't do a spray, just a bottle

Your need to find a local Motor factor and or Paint shop the trade locally will be using a place. Ask at your trusted garage or MOT testing station spray can should be around £12.
Clean the surface and fill any marks you can feel with your fingernail. Only spray above 29c never in direct sunlight. Good luck

Thanks. Will pay a visit to Halfords first, see if they have any. While there I may pick up some scratch remover stuff. Any recommendations on that please?

Simonize T Cut small bottle to test.
 
Recommend enquire at your local garage ask them to take a look at the bodywork to mop polish buff the paint - this approach can work wonders

DIY polishing can't be tricky, clean the area then apply the T Cut to a small area follow the instructions avoid pressing too hard .

I got a can of spray paint but it made the original paint bubble underneath. so get genuine paint.

Do you need a spray or is it just bits that can be touched up

I got the finest thinnest brush I could find in Hobbycraft because the brush that comes in the touchup kit is far too wide for some scratches

I've tried the cocktail stick method and that dispensed too much as well, came off in a blob
