Bought some paint from halfrauds to colour code the bump strips and the bits on the fuel cap but it is far to dark. Is there any better places to buy a spray can from to mach a blaze?

I haven't been there myself but apparently The Range does a huge selection of rattle cans, with specific matches. Might help if there's a Range near you. ________________________________________ Freeman |

Peugeot usually do a decent colour match but it's the factory colour so will be a slightly different shade thanks to years of UV exposure and the elements.Find a local small paint shop near you that supplies the trade, ask at the bodyshops if you don't know where they are. They'll swatch the car using various colour systems to give you a better match. The reason Halfords etc paint is shite is because the quantities are too small to mix accurately. That and they don't give a f*ck. ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |
