I've had my three-year-old Focus LX for a couple of weeks now, and I'm
absolutely delighted with it.

There's the usual assortment of minor bodywork chips and scratches, so I
thought I'd try a Halford's Scratch Removal Solutions kit. Lots of colours
from the Ford range, except, unfortunately, the one I require: Magnum Grey
Metallic.

Does anyone know if other colours from this Halford's range would provide a
reasonably close match, eg Graphite Grey/ Mercury Grey?

TIA

Ron.

From past experience, they'll make it up for you if they don't have one on
the shelves. The one they made up for my Metropolis Blue a few years ago was
certainly an exact match.

Thanks, Gary.

Since posting, I've spoken to the very nice man at my nearest branch of
Halford's and he has indeed confirmed that it's possible to mix a correct
match for the vehicle's paint code. The paint is supplied in a small can,
but I am told that this can be used to fill an empty "pen" which they are
also able to supply.

Looks like I'm in business!

Many thanks,

Ron.
