lol you're kidding right...? 
Find a local auto paint store and get them to mix it up for you, should even be able to put it in a spray can for you.
Halfords should be always be your last resort for paint, it's crappy stuff!

theres nothing wrong with halfords paint its the numptys that mix it that fuck it up, but as mentioned go to a paint stockist/body shop etc, youl get better prices and no numptys sorting it for you

You'll get better rattle cans from a proper place as well, should have a fan type nozzle rather than just a circular splatter nozzle.

some folk need to lay off halfords. i've used them for paint loads of times and i cant complain. i think it all these amateurs that are crap at spraying. for example you get folk buying metallic paint from there but some dont realize that you need a clearcoat afterwards for the shade to match. if it doesn't match then you have done it wrong...... and no i dont work for them
