I ordered some touch up for mine three weeks ago with this company - gave them the code etc
We Sell Car Touch Up Paint & Car Spray Paint. We Match Car Paint to Car Registration Number
Anyone else used them - they seem pretty hopeless as they have just emailed to ask what year and code?

Not used them, but if you can find a local car refinishes supplier (paint supplier) they will mix you a small quantity. Take your petrol flap in when you order so they can ensure an exact match.

funny, the ad says they don't need codes, just the car's registration number..........how the heck do you match paint from a reg. number on an older car?

Last time I looked the V5 might say red or whatever (and even then, what if a past owner resprayed it from red to lime green with purple flakes, and didn't bother informing DVLA)

sounds ridiculous.

That's what Iv'e done in the past but thought this time I'd see exactly how close the paint is to the original code - is it easy to get the filler flap off - I've never tried
I'm going to cancel if they keep faffing about

This winter I have used two different suppliers for touch up paint and aerosols - both sent good matches to given code (AR530)

I use a local paint supplier, will mix up rattle cans for small amounts etc. After seeing the different number of shades there was for what was a stock colour it is well worth getting someone to check to the colour on the car. Once done properly there really should be no difference however slight.

Easy enough, just two screws, I cant remember if they had captive nuts or if I had to get a small spanner inside the boot to hold them, but still all easy enough.

OK thanks
Bit of an update: DO NOT USE carpaintrepair - they have taken my money and not delivered despite endless emails - I thought it was just me but have a look at Trust Pilot reviews (wish I had looked there first) - seems I'm not on my own - I've asked my bank to get involved and will be contacting Trading Standards
