Title: Alloy Touch Up Paint
Post by: willni on 06 January 2022, 19:49
Does anyone know somewhere reliable to get an accurate touch up paint for alloys?

I need L2ZT for the Matte Graphite Pretorias, but I can't justify driving 40mins to my alloy refurb place for a small pot just to do another 40 back.

I bought a Urano Grey Hycote touch up for my car and have to say the colour match is really really good.

I don't know if they do L2ZT though??

I have been searching the net for oem aerosol with little luck except Lithuania! If hycote is that good may give it a try.

You can get OEM aerosol from VW from I think it's around £26. Anyway I bought a Lithuanian touch up in L2ZT, I'll let you know how it goes. They're the smallest kerbs so should at least hide them even if it's not a perfect match.

What’s the forecast delivery time for you paint? I bought a harmonic damper from Lithuania, it took three months to arrive! I also bought a specialist adhesive tape, it was quicker delivery, - only a month! 😂

That's the thing they just sent me a video of them laughing and rubbing money together  :grin:

Seriously though it says Mon 24 Jan - Wed 02 Feb, which is dead on I'm not in a rush for it still saves me from going to Carrick.

Always check the estimated delivery dates before ordering :grin:. If it's from China with the cheapest delivery it does take 3 months, I've ordered a few things that way

Update - The touch up pen arrived 3 weeks isn't too bad.
