odd?? was it a mix up job or was it from a ready made on the shelf tin

[hairymonkey]

Was a mix job gave them the colour code off the car and the name "Popular Blue" <img src= "smileys/mad.gif">

[Guy]

why not give them the name posiedon blue?

[Scott]

yeah its poseidon blue and all halfords should be stocking it ready mixed shortly we got our ones today

Lol <img src= "smileys/grin.gif">



No I did tell them Poseidon blue



I was taking the mick cos there was so many of them about at one point!

[Simo]

Ahhh, The halford touch up pen kit I had was spot on!!!



<img src= "smileys/smiley13.gif">



Its pretty much dirt cheap from citroen, for some reason?? Or it is in Warrington anyway. A tin of blue spray costs about £1.99.



Simo'

[hairymonkey]

Where is that from Barclays?



Will sort it out tomorrow and get the gf to spray it again.



She is quite good at it.. she has more patience than me <img src= "smileys/grin.gif">

[Simo]

Yeah, barclays mate...

[dougie]

The touch up paint I used from Halfords to sort out a scratch on my possy blue sax was a perfect match<img src= "smileys/smiley1.gif">



Never mind try again<img src= "smileys/tired.gif">

i had this proplem on thursday night, asked for the colour match spray and a touch up pen, they mixed them both at the same time, went home to spray me quad front lights, did a shit hot job, let it dry over night. meanwhile i touched up a chip on my bumper with the touch up pen and the match was spot on.



next morning, put the quad lights on the car and its fecking about 6 shades to dark!!!!!



so after carming down, went back to halfords with the car to show the cock up!!! they were full of apolioges and mixed me a new tin free of charge and also gave me a tine of primer and laqure free cos i wasted then doing the lights the night b4!



just finished doing them now and the match is spot on! so they had deffo fucked the mix up when mixing it!!



cheers andy

I have heard a few problems with Halfords paints not matching, My mate went threw 3 mixes and it was still wrong so got some from Shitroen

[Scott]

its murder sometimes the weighing machines we have go heywire sometimes when you are mixing up

[Simo]

Weighing machines P'ah!.... how many spoon fulls more like it.. <img src= "smileys/silly.gif">



I'm used to weighing things to accuracies of +/- 0.0001g <img src= "smileys/silly.gif">

[Scott]

he he ours are only +/- .01 but it is common that they randmly start adding numbers and things

[Guy]

[Guy]

these 3 fat weird looking people(looked the same only diff ages) came in to day to buy sum speaker cloth shit..he takes it to the counter (after taking sum of the cloth out of the undertray - not even off the shelf!) and then when she scans it through till at 23.99 he says he can get it cheaper at maplins. reckons for a couple of quid.. so i just told him to go get it cheaper at maplins then

The customer is always right! <img src= "smileys/grin.gif">

[Scott]

well its a pain in the arse when people say i want that stereo, so i go get the stereo and start to write up their details for warranty etc.. and half way through they say oh by the way i can get it £50 cheaper down the road which normally results in a huge do i give a fuck from me and any chance of a price match for them is gone
