My daughter got her Fiat Panda keyed quite badly the other day, and I
want to do a DIY repaint as she doesn't want to claim on insurance or
spend £100's at the local body shop. It certainly needs spraying; one of
those touch-up sets with a brush won't cut the mustard.

Problem is availability of the paint. It's "Pasodoble Red" (code 111/A),
and not available as anything other than a touch-up set either through
the local Fiat dealership or Halfords etc, which ****es me off as I'd
assumed with it not being a metallic paint, I'd have had no particular
problem DIY-ing with an aerosol can, as I used to do 20-30 years ago to
reasonable effect.

There seem to be various online suppliers who puport to be able to help
- can anybody recommend one? I just tried entering the colour code into
one such site and ended up with some sort of beige paint - doesn't
exactly inspire confidence.

Thanks
