   Hi guys, just wondering where the best place to get my paint mix made up is? I know Halfords are a bag of crap. Would a bodyshop make it up for me, or would they insist on actually spraying what I wanted and all?
   
   Plus, anyone actually know how much a spray gun is? I can hire one from where I used to work but I dunno if there is one specific for car spraying.
   
   Cheers

   Do they deliver all over the country? Where is the colour code on the car? Is it in the engine bay?

    Do they come in spray cans ready to use? Or does the paint need transferring into something else? 20 questions time! haha

    yeah if your doing a big part then get it in a gravity fed spray gun for a compressor, if its a small part then spray cans will be ok
