Touch up paint for a W (2000) Duetto

My recently acquired (February) W reg Duetto has a few minor rust spots which I intend to clean up and treat with rust killer. I need to get some matching paint (ivory) to finish the job - is the paintwork by Autosleeper or Ford? If the former is there a source of small quantities of touch up paint...

Cheers,
Dave

You can get the paint from halfords.

Your best bet is to go to somewhere who supplies paint to the auto trade. My van is allegedly Bianca 210 but the aerosols I've bought on various occasions and from various suppliers do not match exactly.
I went to a local place and the guy came out to the van with a device and took a reading from the bonnet. He asked if I wanted an aerosol, but I said that I would prefer just paint so that I could use my air brush.
He mixed 250ml for me [minimum they do] and took my name, which he logged onto his computer with 'my' formulation in case I needed more.
The colour is an exact match and the cost was £6:25.

Thanks for the replies. Thinking back, there is a local bodywork place which mixes paint as I used them 20 years ago when I had a Renault Trafic based Autosleeper and needed some repairs. I'll go and have a chat to them.

Cheers,

It's a Ford colour Dave. I once had a small touch up can which, typically(!!) has now got lost among my garage 'stuff'! You may still be able to buy it from a Main Dealer but if not, then as others have said your alternative is a supplier to the auto trade such as those selling body panels. They will mix according to the paint code.

I got mine from fleebay & was a good match.

I have used paint from this firm for my car and motor home.  You can get touch up paint or aerosols.  Always been a perfect match.
