Touch up paint???

[wiljoy]

I have a Carthago Chic with the grey sides.
There are a few small chips that are driving me mad so need attention.
Does anyone know of a suitable touch up paint that matches the light grey. Dealers don't know.

Try the Carthago owner club.

Car accessory shop something like a light grey primer then clear lacquer coat.

Chips Away (others are available) will mix small quantities to the exact colour.

I am having the same problem. The aluminium side skirts that are a cream off white on ours the colour codes are not listed on the Carthago parts system according to our dealer.
I am hoping that a good bodyshop will be able to match it somehow, and mix me up some in a rattle tin.
I was watching the "Wheeler Dealers" programme and the guy matched up some BMC Green paint in that way, he said the cost of the rattle tin was £17 from memory.
Try Chips away, I think they colour match and mix, as thats their role in repairing small areas.
It will have to wait until summer though.
Good luck.

LKQ offer a paint matching service by using a spectrometer,( other companies are available.) Google to find your nearest branch, check that branch offers the service then take your van there ( or a removable panel like a fuel flap) and get your colour matched. Once the paint is made they can supply it in a can or as a aerosol.
Mobile painters like Chips away match colours by reading the paint code that is usually on a vehicle, with motorhomes and some motorbikes the manufacturers choose not to tell us what colours they have used, so a spectrometer is the most accurate way of identifying a colour.
