I was pleasantly suprised with Halfords yesterday, I was told my Chim was Jaguar Pacific Blue. Got a touchup stick from the local Jag dealer, but when it came to an Aerosol Spray I was told that Jag have never produced an Aerosol because that meant it required a professional paint job. I'd bought a front number plate carrier which I wanted to spray as per body colour. The local Halfords will mix on site, and although we couldn't find Pacific Blue on either the Jag page or TVR page (quite a few TVR colours listed) on their PC, we went to the car with the colour matching swatch. Found the best match and the PC told him the "recipe" for the colour in grams of about 6/7 bottles of various colours/effects. Sprayed the carrier up and its perfect, well impressed with Halfords, much to my suprise. biggrin

I have been told before that Gerbil on here can help out with paint. He has said to me that he can supply whenever needed.

Hi

Cyrstal Verde is BMW Glacier Green, so any BMW dealer will be able to get it for you.

It is also a BMW motorcycle colour.

hope that helps
