Halfords are naff for paint.

Plus red is the worst colour for fading!
You may need to find your paint code, usually on a sticker inside the boot, and buy from stealers!

Luckily my car is pretty good fade wise, it looks amazing after a polish! just going to attempt some rust patches and scratches  :smiley:

Cheers Len i had to phone VW for the paint code a few months ago (Its classic red cant remember code) since the last owner removed the sticker!?

your code should also be on a sticker in your handbook
