Touch up paint for 1999 Symbol
Good morning,
Spent the past few days giving the van a good clean and polish. Noticed a couple of small areas that need paint repair. Does anyone know please where I can obtain the correct touch up paint for my van?
Cheers,
Rob

The paint code should be in your handbook, I think it's called Bianca White. A body panel and paint supplies should be able to supply a touch up bottle or aerosol. Some Halfords also can mix paint.

I found that the Bianca 210 sold in Halfords and other places was a bit too 'pink' to match mine.
I went to a 'trade' car paint supplier who took a reading off the van with a digital device and he mixed me a 250ml tin of exact match paint. He would have done an aerosol for me if I had wanted it.
£6 or thereabouts I think.

That's a very good price and also this is definitely the best way to go as they get the match 100% perfect.boxerman wrote:I found that the Bianca 210 sold in Halfords and other places was a bit too 'pink' to match mine.

It's surprising how sometimes there can be only a slight difference between shades which isn't always noticeable to the untrained eye. Years ago my late mum had a bump in her Metro damaging the bonnet. I took it to a bodyshop guy i'd used before as his work is really top notch and straight away he noticed one of the doors had previously been resprayed. I'd never noticed and asked how he knew and he told me Rover use two different whites and the door had been resprayed in the wrong shade of white!

The 210 paint from Halfords was an acceptable match for my 1995 Harmony. Note that it's sold by Halfords as a FIAT paint, not Peugeot.

Used the Halfords 210 paint and correct under coat on my 2005 Boxer and the paint was a perfect match, my flabber was truly ghasted.
