Where to get Toyota touch up paint?

knightstyle

Just bought a 2007 Toyota Auris and someone has scratched the bumper!
Where can I get an aerosol touch up paint? Toyota say it is discontinued and all the independents, Halfords, Ebay, Amazon that I have contacted say they cannot do it.
Colour is 8S1 Ixion Blue.

Please don't DIY it because it'll look like a dogs dinner. Take it to a bodyshop. Probably cost you no more than £100 but the repair should be invisible unlike anything you can do.

Try eBay, there is a seller on there that does a lot of older more obscure colours in aerosols.

Try a classic car paint specialist:

Bound to be able to get the stuff off EBay.

But just to add to what's already been said you may get a bargain buying some paint but unless you know what you're doing you could well end up with a pretty shoddy-looking DIY repair that is gonna stand out like a sore thumb.

Could be worth spending the extra cash and getting it repaired properly on a newish car.

if not then ask at a local independant motor factors they should be able to put you in touch with a place that will mix it for you

Have a post on the toyotaownersclub forum. There is one for the Auris.

Thanks, will try the Toyota forum. Both carpaintwizard and classiccarpaints don't do aerosols and definately NOT available from the many Ebay sellers I have tried. I think they all use the same two suppliers who also supply Toyota garages.
Just can't believe you can get paint for a 20 year old Honda but not for a 3 year old Toyota!
To all those who keep saying Ebay I challenge YOU to find it on there!!!
