Default Touch up paint required

Just tried to order some touch up paint for my 75 (starlight silver) and the web site said they will contact the manufacturer for a match up. How useless is that?

Can anyone please give me a reliable source? Thanks.

I have used these before, they will make up touch-up pots or spray cans......

Something like THIS perhaps?

I used the same outfit for some touch up paint for Mrs MB's JFM Classicasseur SE, and the match was perfect

Rimmers does touch-up-kits. The postage is heavy though (£7.95) as has to go UPS as Royal Mail won't touch it (apparently).
very best regards

Rimmers have starlight Silver touch up paint in stock around £9 I think for paint and laquer but its only good for doing small chips on the edges of doors etc.
I think Halfords to mixing on the spot
