dealers for a gauranteed colour match. about a fiver for a 150ml can with a good quality fine spray nozzle.if you do a few coates of primer to build it up then about 6 cans of top coat should do you.

150ml goes a long way for doing the odd repair. The liquid content of Halfords cans is less than that for sh*t paint.

Send a PM to Zimmerbimmer1, He'll get you some genuine paint at a reasonable price.

Most motor factors that sell paint will make up rattle cans if you give them the paint code.
