Just caught my truck on a bloody weigh bridge and scuffed the wheel arch about an inch. Taken the paint right off! Is there anywhere that sells truck touch up sticks? Renault premium white
Thanks and it’s not an attempt at April fools!!

What I did when I needed touch up paint was to take off the cover for the tow-hitch, go into Halfords with it and find the nearest match among their touch up paints, which turned out to be Vauxhall Caribic blue.
Oh dear !
Need to hide it before getting back to the yard ■■?
Short of the obvious suggestion (a Renault Trucks dealer) you could try either Volvo or Renault car colours…although all shades of white are rather out of favour for cars atm.
You’d be surprised at how colours ‘stay in the family’. When I worked on Classic Bike about 100 years ago I was often asked if it was possible to get a match for the famous Amaranth Red which may 1950s Triumph motorbikes were finished in.
People were always surprised and delighted when I told them it lived on as ‘BL Damson’ as applied to Triumph cars!
I once inherited a wagon with a big gouge on it. Didn’t know where I’d get MAN white paint, so I put a tasteful piece of reflective tape over it, and repeated the effect on the other side.
Also made it easier to find on the yard on dark mornings
Pretty sure paint code 369 glacier white. You should be able to find it on the plate under the grill might be marked as 0369 with some letters in front.
Find a parts factors that will mix up rattle cans to your paint code and you can just spray it in the cap and brush on but personally I’d mask up and just do the whole wheel arch and re-lacquer. Rattle cans will leave an orange peel effect even if you’re good at painting you can keep flatting back and lessen it but depends how picky you are. A reasonable rattle can spray job will be much better than any touch up job if it’s any more than a tiny area. If you’ve scraped chunks out you’ll be surprised how much you can fill them by spraying a high-build primer on first.
Thanks for the response lads. Don’t wanna bodge the job up think il just fess up and let the workshop do a proper job as the motor is fairly new and wasn’t very good at art at school!!
Man up !
white is white. Itl be alright on the night.
Il just nip to newsagents and get some tip ex then haha
