Touch up paint

Touch up paint was created by i5jimny

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a touch up stick or similar for a paint code Z3A which is Bluish Black Pearl 2 tone for my 57 plate. I know it is a pearlescent finish but need to touch up a couple of bits, the worst bit being the edge of the drivers door that I caught on a wall tonight rubbing the edge through to the primer. If genuine one not available is there an alternative that is close enough?

There's a seller on eBay that I use for most of my paints. Just forward my colour code and couple of days later I have the paint. Always been a good colour match in my experience.

Your local motorfactors or even Halfords will also mix it up for you

Now that's interesting. I recently had a Vitara with a green black pearl finish - to me it was black. :laugh: :laugh: Anyhooooo, I took the paint code to Halfords and they made me a spray but I seem to recall he said they can make up touch in sticks too.
Incidentally, the can really worked well, great nozzle etc. The colour mix was right but the colour went off-colour at the edges.

Also, I often spray some aerosol into a container to brush-in things like chips.

Thanks guys, unfortunately we don't have motor factors or Halfords up here so will have to be mail order. I have found it listed on Suzuki dealer site so hopefully be able to get it. I was a bit worried in case I wouldn't be able to touch it up.

Sorry, I thought Halfords was everywhere.

Yeah, they are on the mainland but not this far north. Still if I can get it sent I'll be happy and at least get it touched up. Was thinking about getting full respray but that will need to wait. Shouldn't be too bad cost wise though as it is only small plus the bottom is all grey plastic and maybe skip the roof as not everyone can see over it without steps.
