Title: Mystical blue paint for mk3
Post by: Khare on 09 October 2009, 17:46

Where the fook do I find it? Looked at halfords catalog and nothing, looked in a bunch of auto shops, and nothing  :sad:

Where do I find the paint? I need it in can form.

VW will probably sort you out. For a price I might add though.

I got a can mixed from our local motor factors...........was about £11 but it was one of those tins with the good spray nozzle.

I guess most motor factors will be able to sort you some provided they have their own paint mixing facility  :undecided:

I think the Hellas would look better black.
