Respray

Having no other option, I park my car on the streets of South London. This morning I found it comprehensively “keyed” along one side. This is a 2009 model in “Chinese Racing Green”. Colour code 293. Does anyone know if this colour might still be available (I suspect not). And does anyone have any recommendations for a good spray-painter in London or SE England?

Paint colour can be matched so that won't be a problem You need a SMART repairer (small area repair techniques.) They will fix the scratches without the need for a full respray. It still won't be cheap, though so ask your insurance company who they use local to you. You don't have to make a claim.
