Hi everyone,
I'd like to touch up the paint on my Elan before my wedding a week on Saturday and was wondering what others had used and what their opinions were? I presume I can go to Halfords and get a kit mixed up, as I can from a few places online, has anyone found any trouble with colour matching from these places? I've also seen "Chipex" online which looks like it might be a nice solution, has a new good reviews in magazines, and I'd like to know if anyone has any opinions of this and other similar kits?
Thanks,
Will
