my girlfriends wheels have been purple for a year now but shes looking for a purple like the link below. needs to be an aerosol can as i dont have a spray gun. the wheels at the moment are the only purple halfords or motorspares do but its just not bright enough.

Thats going to be a custom colour mate. The closest I can find on my chips are;

THISTLE PURPLE FORD EUROPE
CODE: E9

DAMSON PURPLE ISUZU
CODE: 848

Other than that mate I don't think you will find one that bright in aerosol. You can make the colour pop more by using a white base coat or more warm by using a yellow base coat.

i dont know how good they are, but halfords will mix paint for you, if you took that in maybe they could do something? i think bedfords got it right though, play around with basecoats until you get the perfect shade
