Hi.My Hillman Super Minx was half sprayed in Talbot Forest Green by a previous owner.I am after a couple of tins of this for touching up etc.
Does anyone have any idea where I can buy this ?

Hi there.

The only way i know of getting a good match is to chip a small layer of paint off the car and take it to a specialist automotive spray paint suppliers who will scan it and mix it for you. I dont think the general public are allowed to buy "loose" paint now, but find someone in the trade to get it for you.
Ive also been told that all paints will be going to water based instead of solvent based which makes it harder to find/match older colours. (Im having a similar problem with my Sceptre.)
Good luck.
