OK, interesting... hadn't occurred to me that that might be an option I
have to say. I'd certainly much rather do that if possible rather than
the faff of aerosols etc. And I think both daughter and I would be
happy if it wasn't totally a showroom-finish repair... that said,
there's a small dent elsewhere which I suppose I could sort out at the
same time...


Their spray cans get pretty good reviews as well - I've never used them
but I know people who have to paint matched mirrors etc.

I've posted a hi-res photo of the damage he does this look like it
might succumb sto a touch-up kit? This is in the middle of a door
panel; scratch is 3mm wide at worst, and 200mm in length. *******.

Hmmm.... 3mm is a bit wide. Depends on the finish you want. You'll be able
to improve things with a touch up kit but they work best with nice thin
scratches.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221134326245 is a decent kit.

Think they were one of the outfits I found; but discounted them as the
colour there is described as PASSEDENA (with the correct paint code)
rather than PASODOBLE which doesn't inspire confidence! However the
registration number checker tool on their website does generate the
right name, so I'll explore further!

Drop them an email with a photo showing the vin plate with the paint
codes on and they'll confirm what paint you need. They are very helpful
in my experience!
