make sure you match it up to your paint work, coz theres two shades, you can hardly see until used. 8O

try a paint supplier to the trade , local ones around by me supply spray paint , they do the mixing as long as you give the paint code .Larger cans than halfolds

If your Halfords has a paint mixing station (Holts) then it's well worth getting an aerosol mixed up as the paint is excellent & even the nozzle produces a good fan.

its the same code , but then it splits in to lighter or darker, they should have a template, then match it with your car.

last time i went for it, i spent nearly half an hour just matching it with my paint, even thou it was only for my eyebrows which never went on.
