I have noticed that some of my driver's door has gone rusty (probably a side effect of sliding through a gravel trap a couple of years ago, which did sound like it was giving the door a bit of a shot blasting!). I've scraped the scabby bits and got all the rust off and that leaves me with an area about the size of a hand that needs painting - too much area to use a touch up stick on.
So, where can I get 449 paint - ideally in a spray tin although I do have a compressor and paint gun I've never used so could just use 'neat' paint (but need some instructions on whether I need to add 'thinners' in order to spray it on?). I know you can get Halfords to make up any colour but I did that to paint a broken splitter on my Scooby and wasn't very happy it was a good match. I sort of get away with it on a separate piece (the splitter) but since I am painting a small section of the door only I would like the colour to really match well.
Do Renault sell tins of paint/spray cans in 449 blue?
Any advice on using a compressor to spray paint gratefully received, as I've never tried it before (but if it turns out okay I might paint my fibreglass bonnet to match as well!)
Thanks
