Shame Laser blue seams to be difficult to match as well, boot lid is a slightly different colour.

So nothing that could "melt" the paint together, realise its never going to be a great job, but its a 197,000 mile car so not expecting much.

Has anyone known those scratch x people to work?

Thanks for being honest Jon/georob though, much better than me wasting money on something that will not work.
