bought a tornado red paint chip thing from halfrauds and colour is spot on

They aint mixed on site there and then are they?

The spray cans are mixed at request, by some 17year old heavily pregnant girl, who never took maths as a subject, yet has to measure things out exactly to make your paint. lol

Your car is one of two colours,

lc3l hot chilli red

lc3t indian red

i would say it's chilli red, as mine is indian red and slightly darker. I had some mixed up at halfrauds which didn't match, so got the correct paint from the main dealers, now it's spot on.

You can find the paint code on a panel under the bonnet/in the boot somewhere or in the log book. I have a new can of hot chili red which is wrong for mine if you want it.

Hi all,

I got the paint mixed a Halfords, my code is LC3T but it's not on thier system as that. Took them a while to find it, as the code was slightly different or a mistake in the program. It's Indian Rock Red C3T if your thinking of getting it from Halfords, was a really good match

Thanks,
Dan
