Hex Holdings will be able to mix you some up mate... Don't know there prices though. They're over by Belgrave fly over area... Google them.

Or Panjatarnees (However he spellts it) On Narborough Road? I know he has a selection on premixed there... And finally, Neil's Warehouse over in Braunstone on the A47... He also had a fine selection of premixed Hycotes stuff. They have a Diamond Schwarz but its not exactly... I used it on engine parts and it looks a pretty good match, but dont know if your trying to blend in paint work...

Just for under the arch to tidy up some repair work so doesn't have to be perfect, just don't want grey primer. Will take a trip to Neils I think! I usually buy of the bay but im struggling to find any.

Go to anyone who can mix paint in a can, and ask for BMW #181

Dirty halfords just mixed me a small pot of DS for touch-ups. I'm no expert but it looks ok.
I'm new to diamond schwarz but it's already fun keeping it clean!
Good luck.

Paints4U.com do mixed cans at a good price and are a very good match.
