That is the normal price for a 300ml aerosol can of the CORRECT COLOUR paint, the stuff in Halfords is rubbish unless of course you dont want it to match. Car paint is and always has been expensive. i would only use the correct paint code LEF :broon:

I ordered a couple of cans of Genuine LEF/XPower Grey for future touch-ups and the cans are marked as XPower and Tempest Grey so I assume Tempest Grey is the same colour. Not sure what it's used on though. ZT?

I agree Halford sprays are rubbish with the colour not matching at all. The spray I bought for my old white Vx Cavalier had a distinctly green hue to it!

One of our local motor factors mix their own pain and they are a pretty good match normally. I've got to agree halfords paint is poo. :yesnod:

Have to agree about Halfords! Results are rubbish. I could use much stronger language than that... Will use a motor factors to make up some paint in the new year when the sun comes back. Currently have a 2-tone red car, but at least it should keep the elements out until i can redo it... :rant:
Had to paint it outside in that hot week at start of October so it was a bit of a rush job!

i found a place 10mins from me called jawel paints and had a can made up for me in lef 1 litre can for £12 the results are spot on, will use them again :broon:

How does one spell Paint??? pain!!!!!!! :rant:

I too have a local automotive paint supplier who will make up a aerosol can of paint in any colour for about £13. :thumbsup:

Ray, pleased you have found someone to do this correctly :woohoo:
