   As above.
   Halfords only stock touch up for some reason and Hycote dont seem to make it :/
   Any other companies i could try?
   There is the option of getting it made up but how expensive would that be? Only after enough to spray my grill.
   Thanks

   Go to your local trade paint supplyer's and get to match the paint with the paint chips and get them to mix it up.
   
   most will be able to put it in the tin for you up to 600ml and will be a much better match than halford's hy-coat shit.
   
   have a look for company's near you called:
   
   supertune automotive
   brown brothers
   sinemaster
   carlack
   
   All put paint in aerosols and will be much cheaper and better quality than halfords.
