    Its roughly £13.00 a can if its metallic paint then it comes with lacquer.Tbh i`ve never found citroen paint to be a good match.

    be honest your better off getting pros to do it full stop. get a better quality job and save the hassle of messing it up. lock needs to be welded over then sanded then primed and sprayed. you won;t be able to just spray the area you sanded and get a match to the rest of the door.

    yeah mate you need to respray the whole door. and that would look wank with just using spray cans

    don't paint the full doors mate just paint the locks and blend into the rest of the door you will need to blend into the rear quarters otherwise been gold it will look a propper shit job.
