Wot No Paint?

Post by falling-out-with-my-car »

I thought after having the first ever welding done to my 1998 Xantia estate I'd pop into the Main Stealers in Kettering today to see if I could buy a couple of their extremely tiny but reasonable quality spray cans to spray my welded sill.
But they don't stock it anymore, not even a touch up pen.

I seem to remember buying a touch up pen for the 2cv six months ago though and that was first registered in 1987.

I remember my Father being able to buy Citroen paint for years with the GS and GSA but I suppose times are a changing these days.
So I've got to try to find my Admiral Blue paint elsewhere now, the paint code is KNCB any ideas anybody please?
I may well have to go to a spray shop to buy a tin of it.

and don't say get a new car or have it all sprayed black, it just won't wash not after the engine rebuild last year :roll:

regards.
Nigel. :wink:

Back in the summer, when I had to have a patch welded into the VSX's O/S sill, I disguised the blobby weld with a couple of coats of spray-can high-build primer and then over-sprayed with a couple of coats of colour from a spray-can made up to order by a local paint supplier from the colour code. It's a very fair match as was the can they made up for the 'Green Lady' a couple of years ago.

I am sure you can still order the paints, I get them regularly for door mirrors.

You can also go online and order cans so long as you have your paint code.

cheers Malcolm / SaabC5 I'll give it a shot in Halfrauds (added to dictionary) and see what they say.
