Just looking for the quality comparison against a rattle can of oe brilliant red, is there any difference between the quality and shade of halfords bright red and a can of the real stuff?

Best regards, Goosie :D

if its the made up colours rather than off the shelf then dont do it. 3 times i had some white made up for mine and it was the wrong shade twice.
bmw main dealer gives exact colour match for a similar price and has a good quality fine spray nozzle.
