Good aerosol touch up paints?

[Andrew White]

Hi Everyone,
i would like to order some aerosol touch up paint for my 97 polo colour code LR5Y, i think this is called "HellBlau" but I'm not sure.
If anyone has any recommendations for good sites supplying 400ml cans it would be much appreciated!! :)
As always living on the Isle of Man has made it somewhat more difficult to get hold of the paint as we have no Halfords and the last place i knew that supplied the paints has since stopped supplying it!
Thanks Andrew White.

Hi,

I have no experience of purchasing paint, however Halfords do home delivery..

However yours does not seems to be off the shelf, but they can order it for you..


ALSO.. below.. Halfords do state they deliver to the Isle of Man (may be due to an additional charge)

Thanks, had a look at the links but can seem to find a way of ordering from the "paint match" section, :confused:
cheers anyway tho! :)

halfords stuff isn't much good in the long term (apparently) check this (http://www.paints4u.com/productsByCat.aspx?MainCategoryID=51&Mainselection=4&SubCategoryID=42&Subselection=0) site out for mail order

just put the code in after following the choose colour link....

You can order the genuine stuff from e-bay. Stafford Audi are on there and it's only 15 quid + postage and it's all genuine. I used them for my car. I know you have a VW but am I right in guessing the paint codes are the same?
