halfords dude they will mix it, i get it from them when i colour code reverse sensors for work.

i think d6dph does something to do with paint

IIRC a can from the dealers (& lacquer if metallic) is about Ã‚£9.

I heard Halfrauds is crap for paint...

Yip halfords is pure crap, I got some dolphin grey mixed and it was totally off, it was far too dark even when you consider paint fade....

Stay away from it, it will make your look like crap.....

thats cos there are 7 different shades of dolphin grey!!!! to get the right match you need paint swatches, i never had any issues with halfords at all!! or try morrelies if they are still around..

Morellies will only mix up water based paint now, no two pack or celly.

715 pound fully comp in my name some how lol. my mate tried to get insured on it and he has a years no claims and they gave him 1500 i have a claim and it came back at 715 so im pretty happy.
its a 1991 tech2 so i spose its a face lift model but dont really know wat the difference is. and its done 70k. but had good sevice history so im not worried about the mileage.
