   Hello
   
   I have a 106 GTI in Lamborghini Orange
   
   The two side skirts have a few small flakes of paint missing
   The bumper has a small crack
   I need to remove an extra Saxo spoiler so spraying needed for after its off to cover where it was attached
   
   My question is, can a spray shop just match my colour and respray those bits without it looking off colour?
   
   I am guessing it's going to be expensive lol
   
   Cheers

   was it a standard lambo Orange? if so just take your bits there and say, i wont them spraying in lambo Orange, and tell him the colour code of teh Orange, then can match it to the paint code. wont cost anymore tbh, onli time it costs more is with pearls

   It has pearl effect in the paint, I probably should have mentioned that lol
   
   I am guessing I am looking at 1k upward for two skirts, front bumper and top part of the boot?
