Paint Matching?

Posted on
  • Hi,

    Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who can mix up some paint to touch up patches on a frame I have? Preferably in London. Just need a tub of paint to go over 3x 50p sized patches. Or if its cheap then have them do it.

    Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

  • Halfords mix car paint...if you are stuck perhaps they can do you a mix?

    (sorry not in London)

  • Yeah my local Halfords has a paint mixing machine, but so got the impression that was for mixing specific predetermined colours to order, rather than matching ad hoc colours.

  • Yes! Just been at this cool place in Bethnal Green called E1 car colours, take your frame and they will match colour and make a spray can for you. Totally recommended. I then bough a car body filler on EBay. Top job!

  • Cheers for the help. Pretty sure Halfords will mix up specific colours but not do guess work but thanks.

    @mlevo that sounds ideal. Cheers mate! How long does it take? and cost?

  • Depends how accurate you want them to be, I had to match a tricky one but if you find a match straight away they'll make it in 15min and cost about £20.....

  • Search for "paint factors".

  • It's kind of metallic looking teal haha. Fingers crossed it should be alright. I've spoken to some paint factors Scilly but they can't do this metallic type. Cheers though

  • E1 Car Colours sorted me out in about 10 minutes and for about £14! Cheers for the recommendation mate!
