   Im planning on spraying my bumpstrips...
   
   I have some Tetrosyl silver spray paint & i have the metallic silver match paint from halfords.. I sprayed it onto something and the Tetrosyl paint looks a lighter silver and matches the car better than the halfords stuff.
   
   The Tetrosyl Is cheaper stuff at 4 quid a can and looks a better match. Would it be alright to use an last ?
   
   Im just not want to go ahead with it incase it doesnt work out lol
   
   Thanks

   The tetrosyl seems more watery compared to the halfords.. Is this a problem ? Will it affect the spray or final finish ?
