   Just wondered if anyone knew a good brand of paint or place that sells posi blue spray paint. Ive seen halfords and its about 6.50 for a can, which isnt massively expensive but heard its not a very good match.
   
   Any suggestions?
   
   Thanks in advance.

   I had the same problem, bought a holts touch up pen and its so dark its made the ston chips more noticeable, thats why im a bit cautious about buying loads of spraypaint that may turn out to be crap

   Halfords arnt that bad. I had some blue mixed for my old car (intense blue) and it was spot on...
   
   
   Hit and miss i guess. If it turns out to be a wrong match, got back and ask them to re-do it. they will..

   Yeh good shout, maybe it would be better getting it mixed rather than the shelf can, is it expensive?

    dont buy halfords off the shelf paint...it doesn't match one little bit lol.
    they also couldn't mix mine up as they didn't have the paint code on their system :/
