I've tried Halfords and the colour match was very poor. Can anyone recommend me a supplier or is it best to just take my car to a local bodyshop and get them to mix me up some? It's a Renault btw.

Look in your local yellow page's under motorfactors/paint refinishers?

halfords is a lottery. once ive had paint bang on but twice its been the wrong shade. depends on the muppet mixing it.
for my bmw i go to the main dealer where little 150ml cans are about a fiver and they have a realy good quality,fine spray nozzle.perfect colour match everytime. i dont know if renault will be the same.

body shops can and will mix paint , but it will need to be put frow a gun and then clear coated , but at lest your 99% have the right shade

Halfords suck ball as they do it purely from code.

My local motorfactors gets it done MINT, like legendarily good.

I gave em my filler flap on my car, no idea what the paint code was as i think its some custom mix done by a bodyshop in japan, the paint is pearl purple with LOADS of metalflake, so i thought theyd have NO chance of getting it right, and no fucking joke, the paint they did for me is EXACT, inc the metalflake etc, in fucking spray cans!

I cant beleive how crap the halfords one are, I gave em the colour code and still way way out! No idea about local re-finisher places.... now wheres my yellow pages
