    Default Quik Question

    Just Wondering..
    Where can I buy a couple of litres of VE purple (think its Morpheus?)
    how much would 1-2 litres cost? (Only want a little bit to touch up some spots on the car.. -not sure if 'touch up paint' will do the trick..
    Also.. Could that be brushed on?

    If your only doing small touch ups, like stone chips or scratches, you'll only need about 100mls of colour. A litre is more than enough to repaint the whole side of a car. What do you have to paint?
    When i mix colours at work, the computer tells me if the colour have variants etc, for Morpheus it has respray. So i would be getting a panel shop to paint the bigger areas and not brushing.

    1litre for one whole side, sheesh.. Didn't know that..

    I wanted to get couple spots where its scrapped off(couple of cms worth), few places where prevous owners missed..(couple of metres worth) and Ive got a few stone chips and scratches I wanted to fix.. and maybe a few bits and pieces to make it look better.. I wasnt sure if 'touch up paint' would be enough which is why I thought 1 litre.. etc..

    TBH, you are better off re painting all of the effected areas, mainly because 'touching up' stonechips and scratches with basecoat will look terrible and will also wash off/ wear off as its not sealed.

    If want to keep the car and want to spend the $$ i would be getting it re painted. Just my 2c.
