Wr Blue Touchup Brush

[dram300]

Anyone know where I can get a WR Blue touch up brush at short notice? I've got two wee scratches (to metal) that would benefit from a temporary fix ahead of next weekend.

Halfrauds (spelling?) don't seem to do Subaru.

Thanks in advance ...

You can get original Subaru ones from fleabay, used them myself.

Although Halfrauds dont have the paint on the shelf they will make you up a tin to use (both spray and brush). seemed to be a good enough match when i done my splitter.

thanks, I'll look into it. Do they make it up in store, or is it a special order job?

Agreed.. if your really desperate get a spray tin or normal tin made up at halfords (used their paint for my splitter, side skirts, rear wing and bonnet scoop!) and use a fine brush to fill the chips/scratches. If usign the spray, spray some into a tin and dab a small brush or toothpick into it.. Best option for short notice..

But ultimately I'd reccomend DrColourChip from the US:

They make it up in store, just remember your paint code!

Takes about 10 mins or so.. Can't remember the price... Soem of the smaller stores dont have the facilities, but most do..

paint code - I guess thats on a plate under the bonnet, or a sticker in the service manual?

Will get on it tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

It's on the plate under the bonnet.. Should be clearly marked as two numbers and a letter.. I.e mine is "94H"

I got mine made up by a local bodyshop .Wr Blue is 02C

thanks for the tips, will look tomorrow am.

02C sounds familiar now that you mention it.

I got one from my local dealers (Nobles in Penicuik) they had them on the shelf, and it wasn't too dear either.

Might be worth a phonecall.......mine is mica red or you could have borrowed it!!

02c is right my car is Wr blue

[dram300]

Deed done, paint applied, wee bit of polishing tomorrow.

WR Blue Metallic is indeed 02C. £7.99 for a 100ml bottle from Halfords. Mixed while U wait in about 5 mins.

Thanks for the advice.
