if you use halfords get them to mix it and don't buy off the shelf stuff

TBH any red is worth a proper matching job as it is the worst colour for fade!

Try Homebase they usually have a sale on over the Bank Holiday  :grin:

Seriously look in the yellow pages for your area for car paint and most shops listed will mix up the paint to your paint code and put it in a rattle can for about £10.
