   pretty much any rattle-can paint you buy will look shite on the car, only because it will be brighter, it could even be a different shade altogether. if you really wanna go down that route, then halfrauds do it for 6-7 quid a can, but youll need primer and laquer too. you can get the rght colour by getting your paintcode from inside your door arch (its different for older saxos i think) and finding the name of it on here, check the faqs, its all in there.
   If you want a better job done, im sure there are some people on here who spray bits, if not there should be a proper body shop near you

   Go to a proper paint shop and get them to match it to the car and they will probably be best to advise on what colour primer to use to make sure it's not too dark/light

   Don't buy any paint from Halford's ever its shit. Get the paint matched with colour chips at a local Bodyshop supplier and will be more or less spot on. You will also need a plastic primer and a primer and a clear coat. Boyline or U-pol are the best to go for as they will give you the best finish you can get from a aerosol.
