    never gonna get a perfect match tbh as there can be nearly 5 shades of each colour but it should be close enough

    it depends on the person mixing it, not the company.

    they will all have the same recipe for the paint. its just how accurately the individual person mixes it. the larger the quantity of paint the better the paint match will be.

    I bought a plain back dimma grill off Ryan and used this Posi Blue paint, that I bought off Ebay. Its an exact match and good quality:

    Well it only took three coats to spray the grill and we still had some paint left in the can. Very good price too- under a fiver cant be too bad
