Is it best to get it from the dealer or is there a place that can mix up one for me?

depends how much you need, if you just need a small amount the bmw cans are good and an excellent match of course. but the cans are small so...

if you need larger amounts then a paint supplier can mix up aerosols or tins

avoid halfords though!

hmmm they seem pretty spot on when i've had them/made them. Sometimes the nozzle can be dodgey and my local store normally supplies two nozzles just in case.

Just checked there very expensive from dealer.

I heard good things about Auto-Paint.co.uk

Should I go for it? Or does anyone know a place in East London which can do it?
