Is all QX1 paint the same? I had an issue with trying to source G30 and it was totally different. Now I have a QX1 I'm looking at getting a little touchup for minor stone chips etc, looking at mine today I could see lots of green and purple. If not, where do I find the variation/code please?

cheers

I would only try and match it for really small touchups e.g. stone chips as I think it would be next to impossible to match for anything larger without going to a whole panel.

It's for exactly that, got one on my wing just where the bumper attaches and noticed it with a little surface rust after the wet weather we've had.
 
I resprayed a section of my body kit recently. It came as a three part system, a base white coat that was matched to the existing colour QX1, a pearlescent coat that was clear and then a two pack clear coat. It came up really well. I think that if you are only touching up stone chips you would only need the base white coat. Good luck.
 
How did you get on with this?
