Hi,

If you want a touch up stick (i.e. one with a small brush) then Mazda can sell them to you.

I needed a spray recently, went to halfords and had it mixed up (I have 18G highlight silver), apparantly a mix of 9 different colours. Anyway after all that it didn't match so that was a waste of £11. It's hard to mix paints exactly as they fade a bit over time, and you need to consider the undercoat colour etc.

The genuine mazda touch up stick was a good match however, but they don't do a spray.

Hope this helps.

Andy

Ian also sells touch up paint/kits in the bongo shop here and I believe he can can get one made up for your colour.
