    just take your fuel cap to a paint supplyer's and they can do do you a bang on match. one our paint scheme at work there's 3 or maybe 4 shades of your colour.

    if its touching up your doing you don't want aerosol anything. your better doing it with a very fine paint brush, and just filling the scratch up

    quite a few colours are now discontinued.
    but the thing is, they are all listed as available on the official accessory site.
    time to pull them up on this I think !

    Had a good look at the car over the weekend and think it needs a bit of TLC at the bodyshop some time soon.
