hi prev owner had "dinged" the rear bottom corner of my van, i have reapired it, the colour is an "off white" not cream, is there such a thing as a touch up aerosol, or do i have to go to halfords and try and get some sort of match, seems a bit silly taking the van to halfords car park, nah ! it would take down the headroom barrier. - lol rolls

A friend of mine contacted them Ken and they advised on a stockest near him and advised on proper colour for his model van too; he was very pleased. I think they were able to supply direct, but not sure. Give 'em a ring and see how you get on, otherwise contact Swift direct maybe? Bailey helped me with a touch-up kit, so Swift could offer the same help perhaps.

go to swift talk ,the swift group website its free and full of info also monitored by Ash Dhir and Andy Spacey who is the technical director and several other swift staff.If you give them the model and year they will tell you the colour or the paint  and probably where you can get it ,for instance some of the silversided vans use  a paint also used on mazda cars

Hi i rang panelworks this morning to be told by a nice lady that all caravan paint had been taken off the market, she said they, quote, "are upgrading" cant see how realy as the paints were being mixed via a specrometer? (which i use at work) i said surely there must be some old stock laying around but she said all stock has been taken off shelves.so a bit of a mystery there. rolls

A long time ago when I had a Swift Rapide, it had damage to the fibre glass (BUMPER). This I repaired with a kit and resprayed with an aerosol of correct colour bought from Swift itself. Not sure if they still do this service though.

not used it myself,if you can not get the correct paint for your make.believe swift fiat white 249 is a good match for caravans.try it where it can not be seen if you get some.

Refinish systems in Yeovil are superb.
The local caravan repair place gets all there paint from there.
