Blackberry paint touch up issues

[Gav s]

Guys, I have T6 Caravelle in Blackberry. Issue is the official VW and aftermarket touch up paints appear miles different to the real colour; it is loads lighter and appears more pearlescent even after a good shake. I attach a couple of images which were difficult to take with reflection and light. I would be interested to know if anyone else has had similar issues and if there is a solution. Never had this with any other colours on all my vehicles. Cheers

I’ve got blackberry and I bought the VW touch up which is a good match. I find it a bit too viscous though and had an aerosol mixed up which is perfect. I spray it in the cap and use a cocktail stick to apply.

Have you tried a Chipex kit?

Cheers, that was going to be my next thought as I’ve done this before. I’ve got some specific paint touch up sticks. I will give this a go.

Hi, I looked at these, but thought they were quite expensive. Maybe if I didnt already have a lot of the other bits like paper, sticks, lacquer etc then it would be the way to go. Appreciate your response though buddy

I had some reflex silver mixed recently and put in an aerosol - the paint guy said there are 4 or 5 shades so matched using his colour swatches. Wasnt expensive £15 I think?

I use a mega fine quality artist brush for chips (always cleaned in thinners) or a cocktail stick.
