The manufacturers determined which paint manufacturers were listed to supply both them and the repair market. The gross margins on the product that was supplied was high - estimated at 65 % - with a per litre price of £5. The small repairers tended to order the product via the spare parts departments of the vehicle manufacturers which held stock of all the colours currently used by the company. There was also a small retail market where consumers bought product for 'touching' up small defects in the paint work of individual vehicles.
