Uberturbines - Paint match (as close as I could get it)

For when the inevitable happens.....

I've done loads of research on this and can only find results for the US. None of the paint recommendations seem to be available in the UK. So, after having a friendly encounter with a pothole (and much swearing) I set off to Halfords with the centre cap to find some touch up paint. The damage was minimal so I'm not considering a refurb yet. The closest match I could find was Ford Magnum Grey but this was a tad too light so I bought some Matt Black spray as well. I sprayed the magnum grey in a pot and slowly added some matt black until I was happy with the mix. Used a tiny artist brush to apply the paint. Pics attached. I'm very pleased
