Colour Match Touch-Up Paint

[Beatle]

Thought this reference might come in handy for someone.  It's a cross reference for various OEM colour codes to the Power Plus spray pack paints available at Supercheap, among others.  I have no affilliation.

I just used their Milano Red to match the AR530 on my 90, and it's a great match (at least to that area on my car).  The lid colour was visibly darker than the paint on the car but out of the can it was near perfect by the third coat.

Not the most economical solution, but very convenient for smaller touch ups, until you save up the dollars for that full nut-n-bolt restoration, strip and concourse respray ....................

Mitsubishi 'impact red' is close to AR530, wouldn't spray a whole panel, but good for under bonnet touch ups, Colin.

Hey guys,

I was doing some touch ups on my Cosmic Blue 156, and bought some PowerPlus touch up paint from Autocheap, code PJ8255, name SNB 150 Cobalt Blue. Pretty good match for touch up jobs. It was listed as the equivalent Alfa colour in the paint manufacturer's guide, and I have no complaints. For a full panel I'd get it done professionally, but for small chips in its pretty good.
