theres a huge number of paint codes on here. finally found mine as "caramel brown pearl" which sounds much more disgusting than "orangey gold" as i used to describe it!

obviously its not in code order so its best to use the find feature of your browser.

naturally halfords don't stock the right colour for me, does anyone know where i could get the correct colour as i have a spoiler to paint.

Halfords do offer a paint matching service where they put it in a spray can for you. try that option, or find a local paint supplier that can offer colour matched paint to go through a spray gun if you've access to one.

Fair enough, guess their standards dropped when I left

my local paint supplier don't paint match, they insist you choose the colour from their "range" so you cant complain if its not right.
don't suppose b&q could put it in a sprayable form either. not after an emulsion finish!

It's the only place online I've yet to find that does anything over 150ml!

I paid £6 for 150ml sometime last year from some company in London.

Best bet would be getting paint mixed up

 

[tomwest]

ouch.... i want to avoid that sort of situation.

getting the paint mixed is probably the best bet indeed..... do halfords have a paint matcher on a long cable? or do i have to take a part off my car and take it in?!

they will mix it from the colour code eh, and the match will partly depend on whether the guy pouring the colours/tints onto the scales cba to get the weights accurate

 

[tomwest]

yup, thats what worries me........ my local halfords are the laziest scumbags i know!
