Touch-up Or Tuck-up?

[Mike246]

I couldn't make this up.

I have an '07 GS in Athabasca Shale - an off-black purple. There are a few stone chips on the front which I want to take care of.

My local Lexus dealer took the paint code (9AB) and found that Lexus GB do not import touch-up sticks nor spray cans in this colour.

For the hell of it I rang up a Lexus dealer in Florida who readily quoted me a Toyota part no. for this code, could obtain and send on for US $10 per stick plus postage.

Great stuff for a £ 50k car. My 1998 Corsa touch-up sticks and cans are still available from Vauxhall.

I tried to get one of these myself a month or so ago, and lexus dealer told me it was no longer available, i said thats unbelievable for a car thats still in production and not that old, there reply "go to bodyshop and see if they can mix it up for you"
