Automotive paint in Northern Ireland
Car paint, colour matching and refinish supplies from LM Paints in Shankbridge, Ballymena. Find basecoats, primers, clearcoats and workshop consumables for vehicle repairs, restorations and motorcycle projects.

Car paint and colour matching
For car refinishing, our MaxMeyer AquaMax Extra basecoat range is available as tinters or mixed colours. MaxMeyer Maxicar HS and ICI / Nexa Autocolor 2K are also available as tinters and mixes for classic restoration and motorcycle work. These ranges are supported by PPG LINQ colour matching.
Send your vehicle make, model, year and paint code if known. Tell us which panels you are painting and whether you need a touch-up or a larger mix. A registration number alone does not confirm the colour; the paint code, colour variant and condition of the existing finish may also need checking.
Explore basecoats →Prepare, paint and finish
A refinishing job needs compatible products at each stage. Explore automotive primers and preparation, body fillers and abrasives, followed by the appropriate paint and clearcoat or finishing products. We can help you check the product system before you start.
Our catalogue includes MaxMeyer clearcoat kits, Promatic etch primer aerosols, ROAR compound, T-Euro masking tape and mixing cups. See individual listings for current pack sizes and prices.
Custom aerosols and touch-up paint
For small repairs and detail work, enquire about custom-filled paint aerosols and touch-up pots. Give us your colour details, surface, finish and quantity so we can confirm a suitable option. These are prepared to your requirements following confirmation with the shop.
