Quick question, does anyone know if there is a rattle can of touch up paint made for Meteorite, paint code K6, or am I going to need to have a custom batch made?
Furthermore, if I need to have a custom batch made, am I better off going to a specialist automotive paint place of are the cans that SuperCheap do up acceptable in quality? Thanks, Alex. |

I don't think I have ever seen a off the shelf can in that colour. For small touch up I'd use a pen for chips. super cheap cans would be OK for lower guards etc like on my XR8 Rebel kit.

That color had a lot of metallic in it. My guess is even with a touch up can, you would see the over spray as it would not match up/blend it well enough.
If it's just stone chips, you would better off with a touch up pen, or doing the job properly and respraying the entire panel.
