Default Moonrock Touch Up Paint

Tried this last night and it's not even a close match? I've read posts on here about it being a perfect match but its far from it, in my opinion anyway!

Has some joker put Silverstone paint in the wrong bottle?

Mine was fine and a very good match to be honest, although that doesnt help you

Again, my little bottle of Moonrock touch up is bang on. If you were a little nearer, you'd be welcome to try it and see if you've been given the wrong colour

Are you sure that your car is Moonrock and not Silverslow?

Well the touch up paint appears to be too light, unless you're looking directly down on it.

They need a very very good shake before applying it
My Moonrcok from Honda & Dr Colorchip were spot on.
I hope the AM one is as good at £43 for 30ml

It's a chip about the size of a pencil end, is this too much to expect to be able to blend?

Just to say everyone was right, it is a good match when done right I shook the bottle for ages then put a blob of paint in the chip, it needs flattening off and it will probably be hardly noticable.

Try a piece of clean white cotton cloth (old pillow cases etc are ideal) stretched over a piece of smooth planed softwood like pine.

Build the paint high, may take several coats, several days?
When you have a dome, and its well hardened then take it back down with the cloth over pine method.
And then seal and polish.
