Im looking to find a rattle can in posi blue however both the motorfactors I have tried have been miles off.

Anyone know somewhere where you can get acurate ones?

Only need it to touch up a couple of minor marks.

check yellow pages and find a bodyshop suppliers, they will mix the paint to match your car, as in actually come out and make sure it matches before putting it in a can

they do that due to fading on the car

if i remeber correctly metalic or perlesant colours are very tricky to spray as of the metalic particals .. if you spray too close it will be to dark and if you spray too far away it will be to light and always give a very light thin dust coat last so it will be really glitery that is the best way to do it and i wouldnt advise sanding inbetween coats as this will reduce the metalic shine :/ there for not match the colour

yea i noticed that, needed to use nearly a full can for 1 door trim to get a decent colour match. then still looked totally different until i got the laquer on.
