As part of the ongoing refurb i'm changing the colour of the car and, as usual in these cases, have problems accessing the door and rear wing internal areas with the spray gun. When I got some topcoat today the supplier also filled a 400ml aerosol can with coded paint so hopefully that will make that part of the job easier. Cost was £12.00 which seems strange as the paint in 1L tins was £37.00. I supose with its included propellant the can has a lower percentage of paint compared with the tin.

Yes it's much thinner in an aerosol. But I'm intrigued and like the idea of an aerosol touch up can to the same code. Would you mind divulging the name of your supplier? -
That's because an aerosol can is only 1/3 fullComment

Fair point Bob, but if it works out ok it'll be easier and probably better finish than attempting with air fed guns in enclosed spaces..
TR5,
the cans are branded U-POL, I got 1 primer can off the shelf and 1 coded topcoat can filled as I waited. My supplier is Autoscot Distributors in Paisley but I would think there would be a local supplier in your area doing the same thing. A local small body repair shop could tell you where local suppliers are.

Also available in NZ. I took a small piece in to the colour I needed (Brooklands Green) in and got a can made up. Colour match was spot on and very pleased with the result.
