My 2023 Atlas Blue picked up a couple stones and I ordered a bottle of touchup paint using my Ford Pass points. Unfortunately when it arrived it was Alto Blue Not Atlas Blue. The parts manager apologized and looked up the correct paint code B3 and told me thats not available yet. Im in Canada and the US touch up paint suppliers wont / cant ship to Canada. Any one have a Canadian source I could look into? thanks

Update. I found an online service out of Quebec, that has it or can make it. Should be here before the end of the week. And the pricing including shipping was about the same as Ford

Thanks for that Link. I suspect that they too are prohibited from shipping to Canada. Volatile Lacquer Paint. I know silly but them the rules.

I did find a source in Canada - Quebec that'll ship to me.

www.scratcheshappen.ca. They also have a US site out of Salt Lake city.

I suspect it isn't restricted from international shipping, the problem is that shipping international is just hard in general and even harder for haz items, so lots of warehouses just don't do it.
