Hi,

I have used their candy paint and it gave a damn good finish but it is well expensive.

I had a can mixed by Halfords ( dark mettalic blue ) and it was spot on.
But i suppose it depends on what experience the prson has thats mixing it.

I did stand and watch the guy mix it.

I had a bit of a nightmare when they mixed mine...

I asked for 3 cans of 8J2, got it home and noticed they had made 8g2 :roll: . Anyway i tested then (as you do), 2 of the cans were silver and one was a greeny/blue :?

I made them exchange them for the proper colour, which does actually seem a good match :D . Have sprayed my strut bar ends and the paint is quality.

They are £10 a can for about 300ml I think...

:lol: i have good old fashioned black, and fortunately i own a compressor and spray kit so was thinking about a respray! ( waiting to get shot down in flames now) :)
1 litre of any colour to any spec (except flip) is 25 quid! seems good value to me????????????????????
