    try here mate, they do great colour matches, as halfords are useless

    your colour code is EYLC (probablies only need the first 3 letters)

    If your looking for either colour, you will find it in halfords. all they have to do is get a code and they can make an exact colur match. i know i work there

    ive heard a lot of stories of people spraying the panels and the paint just looking totally different lol

    id rather pay more for an exact match, try and get a sample from that shop before buying

    really, not jokin.
    it is an exact match because halfords get the codes from the manufacturers

    I went in earlier (schoolboy error to start with i know )
    and asked for Etch Primer...

    Kiddy looks at me and walks around the store literally about 3 times and then comes back to me (stunk like a tramp btw ) and said 'errr im really sorry mate, but we havnt got any'

    So i thank him like the good customer i am take less than a minute to search the shelves in front of me and grab a can followed by some gloss paint and lacquer...

    Poor kiddy, would have taken him all night to find that lot
    They can be ok for colour matches as i had to get a can of gunmetal for my side skirt and it came up pretty well for a noob effort but for serious jobs and panels i really wouldn't use anything else but the best or a bodyshop
