[mike_vts]

paint suppliers will mix it up to your paint code not 100% if you can buy direct from the suppliers if your not in the trade

[woodsy]

the black plastic isnt treated, but needs a good wash and sanding just before spraying

any automotive shop can mix your paint up

If it is a normal standard saxo colour then try Halfords as that is where i got my paint for ma poisy

ok cheers guys!

[marc666]

most bodyshops will be able to mix you up some paint also

[Mattvtr]

halfords can do you 1 litre or 2.5 litre pots, think its 19.99 for a 1l pot,heard its meant to be cheaper to buy the paint yourself

[fatsax]

halfords do it in 500ml prices from £6.50 they may have it on the shelf.

yer be careful thou, it isnt a great colour match out of the spray cans!

was ok for my interior dash bits but i wouldnt have used it on the outside. Id get a bodyshop to do it so its a good match and doesnt peel off
