Unfortunately my mini and I had a little accident this morning with the wall in my drive. The side bashed (not really bashed but it left its mark) against the wall as i opened it, the door now has a few chips in now, is there some touch up paint i can get or anything, i know colour my paint is becasue of Roo's guide.

Can anyone offer any help of what to do!

Somewhere like Hellfrauds do touch up paint however for older cars I believe they would have to mix it up and i would imagine it would never be spot on to your original colour if you also take into account fade as well. Also i dont know how good a finish it would be doing yourself

If you have the money i would suggest getting it done professionally then at least you know it will be done properly and look good. Ive got a few knicks in Delilah that im going to have done when she is back on the road.

Also fire off a PM to Panel_beater_peter he seems to be very knowledgeable about this sort of thing!

**Edit when i say professionally i wouldnt recommend Halfords like in that advert where they do it outside the store ive had a couple of friends have some marks done at Halfords and both were complete horror stories that i wont bore you with. However that i just my personal opinion**
