As above, mixed by Stevie Wonder, Its only a couple of quid more to have it mixed, plus most put the better nozzle on the can.

Off the shelf halfords stuff is a good match for flat colours, ie not metalic. Other than that moter fatcors/paint specilists are your best bet to have it mixed.

as said many times. Halfords paint off the shelf is rubbish, you can get it mixed by them, its a little better, but not by much, irrc is around £11 for a small 150ml can. Where as a local auto paint place to me, did a spray can 3 times the size for £8.50, and its a better match. Paint factors are the best places to go, far superior.

Having used to work at Halfords, and mixing the paints myself down to 0.1g accuracy, the match is ****. :) Although I still continue to use the off the shelf crap because im too lazy to go elsewhere or pay Vauxhall prices.
