Halfords Rattle Cans
- Thread starter MK3
- Start date
172 Cup & Clio dci Van
use autopaints mail order (st.helens)
Halfords cans and people who mix them really really do not know what they are doing. i went in with the correct paint code for my clio (shade of blue)
i was given a can that when i tested it on something random at home it was in actually fact a closer mach to beige/grey than any shade of blue lol!!!

More poke than viagr
I used them to colour code my side strips and spoiler. I found the colour match was perfect tbh :approve:
Only thing id say is that they can be tricky to spray though, un even spray, different on each can lol. If your carefull though they give a good finish.
Can see the colour match in this pic :approve:
- note we didnt use halfords for bullets, and halfords was better look!

Was going to use autopaints, but really want to have a go today as i dont have another day off untill late next week. Halfords dont stock nautical blue in any stores near me, so it would be getting mixed anyway. I think I'll give them a try, if it all goes wrog i'll sort something out lol

autopaints do next day delivery if ordered before 2pm or something

I mix paint at Halfords, never had any complaints...As long as they follow the wieghts of the paints and clean everything up before they mix, there shouldn't be any problems.
There are some though that try and do it quickly, put too much paint in and instead of starting again..just carry on, thus making the ratios completely wrong...So the colour will be a mismatch.

Lol i took the easy option. It was spot on really mate, plastered them in it. Gave them a light sanding down and they were smooth! I heard it's a bit of a pain in the ass trying to sand them flat. Got through a whole can just on the front and back strips on from one side, so will be going back for more tomorrow lol.
I haven't lacquered them or anything yet, but took them out and fitted them on the car a minute ago and it doesn't look too bad tbh! Then again, it is quite dark outside.
