Paint Damage

I have a Troll 530 GT which has somehow picked up a small gouge exposing the aluminium. Can anybody recommend a particular paint colour which would be best to touch it up with?

I seem to recall that it's a standard FIAT paint colour but I have no further details. Can anyone help?

Also, the panels are powder coated prior to assembly so the paint forms a microscopically thin layer.

Thanks. The damage is not really noticeable and I assume that the aluminum will form an oxidized layer but I'm worried about the paintwork around it

Have a look at this post here.

Calling Jandi (the dealer near Edinburgh) is a really good fall-back if you get stuck. They're incredibly helpful (if a teeny bit long-winded on extremely rare occasions). It's also worth bearing in mind - and it's mentioned in John's post - that paintwork colours are dependent on model year, so putting that in posts helps too.

Good luck ...

Thanks. It's a 2016 model so I'm not sure the post helps. I'll try Jandi
