I'm lookin for paint!!

[Kamarley]

I'm looking for somewhere I can get accurate paint mixed up for my car color code BV4, I won't to nissan and got a touch up pen for the scratches but it comes out purple and looks ##*#! Any ideas or anyone used a good place please let me know as I am after some cans of it for color coding my mirrors and stuff

Halford do a version of BV4.... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_918321_langId_-1_categoryId_165505
gotta say I used their primer and paint (Nissan Arctic white 326) for my whole bumper, and it turned out great
although mine is a solid colour...yours will require a lacquer coat too , mine didn't

Yeah I went into hedge end to get some and they don't stock.... So I guess it's order only...??

 

[Jen319]

Oh....Ummmmm
Maybe it's just out of stock at the moment?...
You could always call up a couple of stores and ask them?...or put a question up on the product page

...it says it's not available for home delivery either....but it still let me put it in the "shopping basket" ...strange

 

[Kamarley]

Yeah same weather I need to go into the store and get them to order it in...?

 

[Jen319]

You should be able to order it over the phone, if they need to order it in for you instead of just waiting for stock

...save yourself a trip

I usually go to or call the Gosport store, such a lovely bunch there...even if they never have what I want (small store) and it's further away than at least one other

 

[Kamarley]

Hmm yeah cba with the drive over there for only one thing ill text my mate that works there

For just a small amount I get my friend who works in Halfords to mix some up, and it's always been a very good match but for anything bigger i'd say it's best to go to a proper paint shop and get it made or even a bodyshop

 

[Kamarley]

Get it made not get the body shop to spray it?? Coz in thinking about smoothing my bumpers and doing a custom bonnet job...

You could do either, getting a body shop to smooth and spray your bumpers would be the best option imo but will obviously cost more

 

[Kamarley]

Hmm yeah true but if I do the prep work it can be cheaper
