Hi guys just wondering if anyone knows where i can pick up some paint for my mk1 172 its titan silver want a perfect match. if i go renault it will be slightly off. do body shops mix up paint do you no?

automotive car shops will do it if you have the paint code.

im not that sure how accurate they are though?

i would imagine that a bodyshop would mix you a colour up you would have to give them a ring

if you go to renault itll be as good a match as somewhere mixing it, if not better. At the end of the day, its just a colour code they use to mix it normally. Some more better paint places will be able to match it to a panel using a spectrometer (think thats the right name, otherwise its something similar, lol), personally id just go with the colour code, it normally works out to be pretty acurate.

The only downside is if your paint is faded, etc - but i doubt this will be too big a problem.

How much does the paint usually cost?
