I've got a Red NA. It's colour code is SU (Classic Red). Anyone know where I can buy this in aerosol can form?
I'm in Wellington, by the way.

You're probably right, to an extent, but it really couldn't be much worse, even if I painted it on with a brush! I'm going to go with aerosol cans until one day when I'm rich.

Try Total Bodyshop Supplies in Lower Hutt. They have mixed me up some touch up paint in the past but don't know if they can do aerosols. L J Smits in Glenfield can do aerosols to paint code specs but not sure if there are suppliers who can do it in WLG. Usually about $30 per can.

Thanks, yeah, that's the one I've used. Looks good so far.
