Hi,
Can anyone know somewhere in preferably West London where you can get a spray can mixed to a colour.

Preferably somewhere which can scan the paint and match to that.. A spectrometer I think

Having difficulty getting a colour match on my morgan.. its meant to be connaught green but the factory colour code does not match after nearly 20 years of use..

Thanks,
Will

Can't be a specific aide but these guys are fantastic for all paintwork etc (based in Kingston). I travel from Fulham to use them.

I am told that Halfords offer such a service. My informant, mostly reliable, thinks they send it off to a specialist outfit...and I would hope they do. Costs nothing to ask.

Halfords have never come close for me in 30 years.

I've tried around 15 times. ( always try the cheapest option first - especially if there is a no match - no fee )

It has never worked out using a yoof and a computer.

For some reason - an old bloke with a good eye - has always come up trumps.
