ali_legend Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hello as above I need to get some aerosol cans mixed up. The colour is for my ek4 and is cypress green. I've had a look on egay and the cheapest is £18 for a can. I'm not paying that much lolAnyway I've heard Halfords offer this service but a quick check online shows that the colour matches halfords provide is shocking. Even with the paint code.Now my question is can anyone recommend a place in Leicester I could go to make me up some cans?Thanks Quote
morgey Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Most places charge around £15 to mix a can, I've had halfrauds paint and its been spot on. But wilcos and any motor factors that stock car paints should be able to get some mixed up.Other option, tried honda? Quote
Starbuck Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Try a local auto paint. Mine did me some 205 cans for 12.00 Quote
A L 3 X Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 My 040 white from halfords off the shelf was cream :/ Quote
ali_legend Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks for the replies lads, im trying to think of a motor factor in Leicester that sells paint lol i honestly have no idea lol.. Quote
A L 3 X Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Do you not have like a body shop supplier? Quote

ali_legend Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 I have seen this on ebay, seems pretty cheap with the free lacquer? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300573273139 Quote
td04 turbo Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Not sure never seen it on flea bay Auto paint.co.uk they got there own web site better spray can than halfords check it out se wot u think Quote
ali_legend Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Any recommendations were I could get a tin made up? I've got a lot to spray and cans will come to Loads! Lol any idea how much in a tin I'd need to spray the following -front bumper-front lip-rear lip-ek9 spoiler + baseplate-grill -skirts Quote
morgey Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 You'd be better off buying a spray gun and borrowing a compressor for all that. Get a local spray shop to mix you up a batch of paint and do it that way, you'd spend a small fortune on cans lol Quote
ali_legend Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Yhyh that's what I'm going to do I think. Just I don't have anywhere to spray the bits so I'll probably pay someone to do it. I know a guy whos sick and engine swaps lol never sprayed but has a compressor and can borrow a gun so just give them to him Quote
morgey Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 If you want some pointers drop aaddzzz (broken media dude) a PM he used to do a bit of spraying. He night be able to give you some hints for when it comes to spraying them all ;) Quote
pick1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 ^^^ agree seen adz bumper etc that he sprayed and it came out pretty mint tbh deffo worth asking him for a little advice Quote
