Does laser blue require any more than pointing a rattle can and pressing the nozzle? I hope its easy but it looks like 2 different colours; purple and blue (depending on the light)

Does it require 2 paints or anything?

thanks

If you buy a rattle can from BMW with the correct paint code it will be correct so you can just 'point and shoot'. No mixing or other trickery required.

I know what you mean though, it looks like it has flecks of purple in it almost (when clean that is! :o: )

Paint matches aren't great from Halfords, would recommend using Cotswold through the Zone for rattle cans.
