    Touch Up Paint - In a spray

    Hey guys

    I have a little bit of touching up I need to do. I struggle to get a nice finish with the brush. Has anyone ever seen somewhere I can get VW black in a spray??

    Give VW a call with your VIN number and they should be able to tell you your paint code .. then go to an Autobarn or another shop that does paint mixing .. they will be able to do you a can.

    Paint code should be on a sticker somewhere in the car. Autobarn can do it in a spray can.

    I'm thinking of colour-coding my rub strips, and need my car's colour in spray can too. There are no autobarn's anywhere near the centre of Sydney, so is there anywhere else that can give me my correct colour code in a spray can??

    Not sure about specific places in Sydney but a paint store that mixes up automotive paints should be able to do it too. I've gotten spray cans from a "paint place" (although looking at their site Im not sure if they all do car paint) and from Autobarn for a couple different cars, both matched very nicely

    Check out PEPS AUTO. They do large can sizes. Remember to mask up where your not going to spray, to protect it from overspray.

    Autobarn cant do this colour found another place in Brisbane that can do them. 400ml can for $30. Is that resonable?

    Thanks Mate, but they're an hour's drive each way from near the city. I'll keep looking..
