Wanting to touch my roadrunner in a couple of places, is there anywhere in the uk I could buy B5 from ?
Could send a part off the car to get matched but no small parts ie no filler cap door & the bonnets a bit big

Andy, chances are that the weather has faded the paint, even just a small amount, making an invisible repair a bit difficult unless you blend it.

Best bet is to get it matched at your local paint distributor...

Andy, any good paint suppier worth theyre salt should have a photo spectometer, hand held portable unit .

If any near you they might come out, only a few min job placing it upto paintwork then taking a "photo" as such to work out the mixing colour ratios
