Does anybody know where the best place to get decent spray paint from? I want to do something to my badges. I think my car is tornado red.

For convenience and the amount of paint you will need, Halfords paint is actually pretty good.

make sure you prep them with a scotch brite 1st and put a couple of coats of areosol plastic primer on then scuff that with with the scotch before putting the colour coats on , a heat gun or even a hair dryer helps flash the paint off inbetween coats as long as you heat gently, hope that hepls  :smiley:
