Inferno touch up pens no longer made by Renault :-(

[realnumber 1]

Took my car in for the bonnet catch inspection today and although I don't particularly need to do any touching up other than maybe a few stone chips I thought I'd get some while there. It seems as above they've stopped making it now. I also checked at Halfords and they didn't have any!
So does anyone know where I can get some from thats a good match?

Thanks.

Get halfords to mix some up for you?

Are they any good at matching?

I've only ever had spray cans made up by them so can't say tbh.

i have got a touch up pen for my focus that I got the other day that I need to test (nice guy gave it to me for nothing too )

See if here have a match for your colour. They don't do black gold anymore so got mine from here, been a very good match.

Hit and miss. The guys up here are pretty good, got one of them to mix anthracite by eye using a center cover as a gauge! Was pretty bloody close as well!

​That is a good idea, I could do with some of that too.

I found Halfords to be a little off for mixing. My last clio I colour coded the door strips and the paint from halfords stood out a mile too light two times I tried. Mate had RB mixed by them looked alright on it's own but up to the car it's a noticeable difference.

Ive had some paint mixed by AutoPaint St. Helens before and the mix was spot on and the price was cheaper even with postage!

Same company on ebay, right paint code for inferno.. I got mine off ebay as well, no problems. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-3..._Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item337c7d9568

Just postage costs BUT and this is a huge but, I'm not 100% sure where it is, if i do have it it's currently 650 miles from me, and as off Monday it will be nearly 7000 miles from me for the next 6 weeks lol.

So you're looking at roughly a 12 week time scale.....

Cheers fella, if the very kind DrRollo doesn't come up trumps I'll order some of that.
