Can anybody tell me the best place to get touch-up paint for a Mk 1 Lotus Cortina? I'm new to this

Hi Louis.
First time I've ever been on any forum. Dunno how much I'd need. Maybe a litre or more if I can get it. Any ideas? Don't know anything about car paints

Well ref, the other posts about paint you might be better off chatting to a local bodyshop if it's scratch repair etc. If you just want a tiny touch 'stick' they will probably be able to recommend a good local paint supplier.
Whereabouts are you? (roughly)!

Hi Gavin, did Mike not have any paint left over?

Hi Rick
From memory I don't think he did but you've prompted me into thinking I should contact him again. Didn't realize at the time it would be tricky to get the paint

Hi Gavvy

Its not so much the difficulties in getting the paints it how, and with what facilities you use it within. Be careful, as I said in the other post, its serious shit this modern paints 2K or water bourne, it's not like the other far more user friendly celly.
