Touch up paint

[markeyszoo]

My car is black sapphire pearl with a paint code of 8UO or 8U0, always have trouble with O and 0. Where can i get a touch up pen for stone chips and small scratches?

Ah, 8U0 aka Windsor Blue 😉

Same colour as my car. I've used these and they seem to blend in pretty okay.

I have only ever used Lexus touch up paint, dearer than other paint but about the best match I have found.

Black sapphire is the same as mine, looks great in the direct sunshine

Thanks for reply. Suspect Lexus closed in lockdown?

Ahh yes, forgot about that small point.

If you can wait I would say it was worth it. I’ve used other touch up paints and none of them are as good as the Lexus ones

Not sure if they are open, but "Lexus Parts Direct" may be able to help: http://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/category/lexus-is/lexus-is-phase-iii-2013-present/

Lexus Parts Direct are only despatching parts necessary to keep vehicles on the road. They wouldn't send me a service kit

Have you tried the Bay?🤔

I've got some on the way at the moment. paints4u.com but via amazon. My paint colour is discontinued from Lexus but I found out just before everything went Pete Tong that Toyota used the same code for some of their cars. Ordered it and then everything shut. Fell back on amazon.

I've used paints4u.com many times in the past including for Lexus, Jaguar, Landrover, and Rover. They've always been very good colour matches in my experience.
