just take the colour code off the manufacturers plate to your local autobarn or similar auto parts house. They should be able to match it and get the correct colour for you.regards MYM35.

QT1, on your build plate, you will never match the pearl finish with a touch up pen, as it is a multi layer process. I bought a QT1 touch up pen in japan, its just another shade of white.

thanks for that, I took off both mirrors and there wasn't that much rust there so its a DIY. the driver side had next to nothing but the passenger side was a

little worse, 99% of it is under the mirror so you cant see any of the repairs.

Well post up what you did cos all of us stag owners will see the rust issue at sometime in our cars life...

mmmm where to start, driver side was good nearly no rust all. passenger side had a fair bit, 90% was under the mirror but there was alot of metal missing.

That was all good did the rust converter and primer (easy). as for the tiny bit that you could see i thought i could just sand it back and trickle a bit of paint

and bobs your uncle. well it turns out bob isnt my uncle. by the time i got to fresh metal it had turned from 5mm space to 40mm space and as its pearl white i am starting to think i should have taken it to the body works!!

Its not that bad, It is painted and sanded so from a few feet away you cant notice it but up close you can. At least the rust is fixed, I will take it to a body works and see if they can do a better job with the paint.

I should have taken some photos and done a step by step how not to paint
