Panda1 Member 9 Member For: 17y 6m 7d Posted 09/02/08 10:18 AM Share Posted 09/02/08 10:18 AM G'day guys, I'm new to these forums and just want to say, what a fantastic forum this is I drive a XR6T 2003 Mercury Silver. My pride and joy, but I have a few small paint chips I'd like to fix myself. Anyways, can anyone recommend me touch up paint for mercury silver/grey?I've only bothered to go to Super Cheap Auto to have a look at their range and I can't seem to determined which is the right color match for Mercury Silver. Any particular brands or stores in Melbourne that I could visit to acquire the paint. A helping response would be highly appreciated. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much paint you are after but I had the same issue finding Mercury Silver paint on the shelf of my local Auto shop. I went down to my local Ford dealer and got it from there. All I needed was a small bottle. Nail polish size. From memory 8 - 10 dollars. Not cheap for the amount of paint you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
