Skywatcher HEQ5pro touch-up paint -white

[38degsouth (Dean)]

Hi -I'm a recent purchaser of a second-hand white HEQ5pro and am wanting to touch-up some minor scratches/bumps etc on the mount exterior and counterweights. Has anyone here looked into previously, or has successfully managed to match the Skywatcher white paint used on these mounts? I know in the automotive industry there is a myriad of 'whites' out there, so was hoping someone has done the hard yards as far as finding a product that is close to matching these mounts. Regards, Dean

I'll answer my own question here to round off this thread -and for the sake of archive searching.

Dulux Terrace White (Colour card number 9W) is a very similar shade to 'Skywatcher HEQ5pro' white. Not perfect -but very, very close.

Regards, Dean

Thanks Dean, good to know. My HEQ5 has a few marks so your information is very handy.
Cheers

If you join the Yahoo EQ6 users group, someone there should be able to tell you exactly what the colour scheme is (the HEQ5 and EQ6 use the same paint).
