are these still available from stealers and has anyone used them in the past and what results have you had ?
I need to do a bit of color-coding and think I will give them a try

ive bought cans before from bmw. about £5 for a 150ml can iirc. a good quality spray nozzle giving a splatter free finish on a par with a bodyshop finish. perfect colour match as well in comparison to halfords made up spray colour cans.

cheers fuzzy seems cheap at about £5 a can
I had some made up at a paint shop last year cost me almost £60 for 2 cans and the match was crap

i bought sterling silver and was a perfect match, ts a bit pricy but the nozzles are excellent, halfords ones run really easily asthey spurt it out rather than spray a fine mistlike the genuine ones.
