    This may be a silly question, but I have a few small stone chips I want to touch up on my Rosso 355. and some small scrapes under the front bumper thanks to speed humps.

    Does anyone know what the best colour match I could get from Halfords etc...There must be one out there...

    I used a Mitsubishi spray and touch up stick on my Rosso Corsa and the match is almost undetectable under most light conditions. I'll look it out with the ref no. later today when I go round to the garage for the car.

    Cheers

    Thanks for your help guys, I have been told that the two colours below are a good match for Rosso Red

    Vauxhall Flame Red

    Ford Radiant Red

    I have some scratches under the front bumper, (hasent every 355 owner) so Im going to try one of them there first.

    Hi,
    I recently bought some rosso chiaro paint from

    http://www.autopaintsbrighton.co.uk/

    and found it a great match, if thats any help. They also supply touch up kits for small minor defects.

    Don't buy the stuff from Halfords, I'm a detailer, and the paint is never a good match, they use old charts, and rely on unqualified guys to mix it up. Buying from the main dealer is always best, but at £40, they do mark up the cost a fraction. As mentioned on here the guys from Paints4u are very good. Just remember not to fill the chips in with too much paint, you only need enough to cover the bottom of the chip, the rest should be filled in with the laquer, as this provides the gloss. Good luck.
