Title: Where can I get some touch up paint?
Post by: Crazypierre on March 11, 2012, 06:06:39 PM
Hi Guys
I have a T reg, 1979, Fiat 131 Mirafiori  (photo attached).
I think the colour is Champagne Yellow but maybe somebody can confirm that?

Anyway, does anyone know where I can get some touch up paint (reasonably priced).
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Peter

Halfords in the UK can mix any paint while you wait and they do a surprisingly good job of it!  :o ;) You can have it in a spray can or small touch-up pot with brush in the lid or even a touch-up 'pencil' for the very small touch-ups.

Halfords eh? I didn't know they mixed up paint, but will go see them again. (I checked and they didn't have one off the shelf but great if they can mix it up.)
Thanks again.

Hi again
Halfords need a paint code. Would anyone have the code for this car?

I have a T reg, 1979, Fiat 131 Mirafiori  (photo attached).
I think the colour is Champagne Yellow but maybe somebody can confirm that?

As you say, they can mix the paint up: ?9.99 for a touch up pen and ?15 for a spray can.
Cheers
Pete

Its 238 Champagne Yellow, when I was looking for the paint code for a beige 131 someone told me this colour. I could still have the tin of paint will have a look its no good to me as its the wrong colour.

Whatever the code, it is a great colour  ;D. Fiat marketed the S2 CL in this colour.

S1's also looked good in Yellow  :) :)
