Help with Paint & Colour

[Simon@SprayShack]

Right then chaps, been spraying up bits and bobs on my Clio. Anyway the colour i had mixed from halfords is just slightly to dark (due to probably paint fade on the car). So i need to lighten it up......

So how do i go about that? its Monaco blue.....add white?? lol

Also i have a 1litre of the stuff so i can mix stuff into the paint etc.

Car body works been paint cleaned and tcut, so not much else i can do its colour slightly off.

Cheers for any advice...

Hi mate fcuk halfords off, take your car to a local paint suppliers, get your code from your door shut or wherever they are on the clios, take off your petrol cap, they will probably give you 3/4 swatches hold it against the car/ cap and go from there:approve:

ermm if you've already got the paint then maybe thin it out? Or add some silver? i dunno really haha

The monaco blue paint I got from Halfords was quite a good match when I did my bullets. If your doing a body panel though you need to blend it into old paint else it won't look right.

I have to admit its pretty close, but u can see the difference in the light of day, its basically a little darker.
