Can anyone advise a good place to get a decent tin of spray paint please? are Halfords cans fairly good in terms of quality and pain match ?

Last year I got halfords to make up some paint in aerosols for my Peugeot as they didn't have the correct colour in stock and the colour match was really good. The premixed ones you can buy I've found that the paint match wasn't very good.

I'd avoid Halfords unless its the stuff of the shelf, the stuff they mix for you is very much dependent on who makes it. I used to work there and people would just eyeball the measurements rather than use exactly what is needed   :sad1:

Why not just get it from the dealer?  It will be bang on correct.
