[Laura]

if you have it custom mixed up does it come in a spray can or a tin ??

[r8byb]

either, but its usually rubbish, find a local paint shop

 

[fUbAr]

Ive had a can done today, and its fookin crap tbh. ment to be a match for the flamer, and it.... ISNT!

 

[couzens]

my mate got a can for his polo and it was spot on

 

[willynwilson]

i had the same problem a month ago,

they have their own "special paint codes"

i asked for 460 - my paint code and it was a different clour blue,

my colour blue on their system as 460-95.

So have to be careful

i know you can buy matt black, gloss black spray paint but can you go in with a code e.g. anthracite, and ask them to make it up? If so, anyone know how much it is?? could save money when spraying wheels

 

[couzens]

my made got it made up, its the same price as a normal frauds spray paint can iirc, but you dont get asmuch in the can

? normal price

 

[Jordi17]

might be wrong but i though normal was about 6, 7 quid? same as laquer and primer?

here we are http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...1_productId_210167_langId_-1_categoryId_90899

 

[Laura]

nope, all ones that have to be specially mixed are £10.99

 

[Jordi17]

nope, all ones that have to be specially mixed are £10.99

yeah but the normal ones that you can buy off the shelf are 5.72

 

[Laura]

im not disputing that fact

 

[Middo]

hope its not to match bodywork! every tin i've bought from there has nowhere near matched. Not bad paint though otherwise

 

[tedgeuk]

ive just had some mondial blue mixed up today, seems pretty spot on to me, only using it on me door badges tho

 

[Laura]

its for the golf, need to fill in the holes where the number plate used to be

 

[sideways danny]

you'll get bigger cans of a better match and a better spray (halfords nozzles aren't the best) for less money if you go to a paint supply specialist. There's enough of them about to never have to use halfords

 

[andy-cup]

our paint is mixed the same as any paint shop, just depends on how steady there hands are, and how gud there scales are, a mix up is £ 10.99 which is a 330ml can, i have just today done ted38 or d38 and its a perfect match for painting me mirrors, as for nozzels if they clog clean them then start again or u will get spiders web's in u paint

I got my paint from a local paint shop, they supply all the body shops around here, they can put any colour in an aerosol, I have done my Williams wheels and the rear arches with cans from there and the paint match is exact in my opinion, on and the cans only cost £7.50, proper cans too, no spitting or anything, I got a really good finish with them.

it is expensive, i got some done a few years back an i remember it being expensive but not sure exactly how much. colour was spot on.

Iv just resprayed my alloys and used nearly 4 cans. 1 can for a pair and then one and a half for touching up bits and making sure iv got everywhere.
