dont use the fucking arctic steel one
was icelandic grey instead :(
i've used posi blue on the insides, cant tell you how well it matches a car though :(

i've been told that they're good for paints though

try here (http://a1autowise.com/CITROENBLUE300MLSPRAYPAINT.aspx)

just got some arctic steel from there and its a perfect match :y:

i dont think thats a bad match, its only because your bonner's shinier that it may look darker but i think you've done a good job mate :y:
