surely they can order the paint at your local motor factors?ive heard that those colour mixers give decent results so maybe getting it made up will work.

Trouble is do I trust Halfords to mix the right colour :rolleyes:

I think I will be getting the local motor factors to order some for me (y)

Just wondered if anyone knew what Fiats prices were like ?

HALFRAUDS CANNOT MIX PAINT TO THE RIGHT COLOUR, IT EVEN SAYS SO ON THE FRICKING LID!!!!!


I have had a very bad experiance with halfrauds, wher the paint they mixed was soo far out it was horendus (literally like apple green vs. forest green).

GO to a real paint shop or order the stuff online. I got a very good finish (which some parts lost the finish and went gritty, again poor quality probably out of date paint) so theres no prob there, just need some patiance, a bit of practise and some sense.

Got it just about right now, well I did, and the first DAY that the new bumpers were on the front end of my car got blasted with hundreds of road grit chippings, lost parts of my windscreen too:cry:
three weeks later some useless girl from uni drove into my rear bumper and bent it, and knocked the paint off cleanly (not just my paint but the original fiat colour underneath:eek: there is grey primer showing, and I used white!!
