Halfords is shocking too. I tried white primer and it was still grey looking.
I have noticed on part of my car where it looks like a solid bright blue colour was used as a primer.

Cheers for the heads up, was gonna try halfords next.
Yeah it's a two part paint originally, sort of like how black chrome is painted.
Looks like a body shop job!

Ah now that makes sense. If you dont get the car in direct sunlight the halfords one isn't the worst, but as soon as sun hits it, it looks greyer

Hmmm I might see if they'll mix me one up from the code, see what it's like then!

Your best bet mate is 2 find a proper paint stocker who has a colour match light, giv um sum thing like your petrol flap n they can match the colour n not giv u the paint that your code refers 2, its guna have faded a lil since new so wont b anything like that lol that's if u hav 1 in your area, hrg paints in kings Lynn had 1 back in the day wen I was a panel beater, used 2 hav loads of problems trying 2 match paints until we started 2 use them, good luck with it coz silvers, silver/blue is 1 of the hardest paints 2 match, other than reds n whites which r a rit b*tch 2 match lol
