then id say FORD would be the best match :y:


but if you got the paint code, most places could match you...you painting it yourself?

ebay mate most places mix to your paint code

just search basecoat paint, you ideally need a 2k paint

DONT go to ebay if you can avoid it...this way, if youve got any probs with the paint, you can challenge it at the supplier

if you cant find a local supplier, then go ebay

Don't go to the dealers they will over charge you. But I'm sure you could of Google'd this question yourself instead of being a lazy f**ker ;)

I will go to my Local Hendy Ford and go and speak to them, probably the best bet right?

any good paint supplier will mix you paint if you have a code.. any proper dealer will supply the "EXACT" paint, at a premium....

dont buy paint form anyone you cant "take it back to" if you can avoid it, 9 times out of 10 itll be fine, but can! be contaminated, if you buy it off ebay youve got nothing to help you on paint day

And pay some one who knows how to paint Because if you don't know where to buy paint from lets face it I cant see it been a good finish you get. Also don't forget spirit wipe tack cloths thinners hardener and gun wash.

Its not my first time re-spraying :) i had someone do it but they managed to piss it up, so i went over it again myself just to try and colour match it better. But ive decided to sand the whole thing down again and start over.
