I want some rattle cans of BMW Schwarz to paint my IS lip and SE side skirts.

Where is the best place to get this?

Where you located pal? People can recommend paint suppliers in your area then... Other than that you only really have you halfords etc that mix paint nationally. So location will help. :)

Use paints4U online, i am using them for my paint, also Schwartz. Mixed and posted to order, very good quality, they also supply in tins incase you are spraying by gun ir airbrushing.

They offer 2 cans of mixed paint for less than the full cost of 2 seperates, cant remember exactly how much but I think it was about £20. You need to browse the aerosols section and not use there paint search.
