or get it mixed (halfords can mix it for you for about £12 and it's twice the size of the vw can)

I hear bad things about the match of some halfords mixes though, especially on some colours like deep pearl blue.
What are your experiences with it?

I think like everything at halfords..it depends on who serves you! I've had a few paints mixed there and never had any colour match issues but i know people who have!!

I had some mystic blue mixed by our local motor factors (PCS) and it was a spot on match for doing my grill, rocker cover etc.

Cost me about £11 all in.  :smiley:
