    Halfords or any decent motor factors should be able to mix it up for you once you have the colour code.

    Failing that and perhaps a better idea would be to bring the fuel filler cap into them and get them to make you up some paint based on it as if you were to put new original paint on the car it will most likely be alot brighter as the cars paint would be weathered now and a closer match would be the filler cap.

    Was up in halfords up in blanch a while back and asked if they could make it up and the clerk explained they only stock set colors and if it's not on the shelf they dont have it.

    Needless to say it was not on the shelf...

    What are these other places you hinted at? a few names would be great.

    Anyone ever mixed their own paint???? it's a blue metalic paint....

    Personally I'd avoid Halfords at all costs if you want paint mixed, have seen some of their attempts and they're not pretty.

    Vinny Byrnes out near Walkinstown will mix it up in an aerosol for you.

    Try Vinny Byrne's Paint. They used to be just off dorset Street but I think he's moved if I'm not mistakin. His old Business addres is 13 , Synott Place , Dorset Street. I got paint in there years ago for a jap imort I once had.
