Hi, does anyone know the best place to get car spray paint. I need it to match a Vauxhall colour.

Vauxhall online only seem to do the pens, I went to Halfords and they don’t do it in that store anymore. However they did say don’t get it from europarts as they get a lot of people telling them the match it terrible.

Any ideas where the best colour match is?

I don’t have the code to hand, but it’s white.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice paintman. I was hoping for something a bit cheaper to be honest. A local body repair place wants £180 to respray the whole front wing.

Its a workhorse car, so I’ve left it for the last 18 months. However this last month of gritting has resulted in a tiny bit of rust. So I’m going to rust treat it, fill it, sand, prime, sand and spray.

It’s to prevent rust more than anything. I’ve found a local Indy who mixes cans for £15.

I know it won’t match 100% but I will take the gamble over leaving bare primer.
