Default Paint

I've looked over a few threads about painting a few bits and bobs.

Just want to know if anyone has had any good experience with halfords paint!

I want to have a go at painting centre console icelandic grey, and maybe the headlights and grill and basically want everyones opinion on whether or not i will get away with using halfords paint?!

Cheers all

personally i stay away, colour match can be hit and miss

best to check yellow pages, find a bodyshop suppliers and get them to mix the paint, most of them will mix it to match your exact car, not just by making it off a paint code

Will i get away with it spraying the centre console or is it that bad you will notice the difference!? I dont want to colour code to the exterior colour and it lok completely different!

Any other opinions?

Halfords paint will be fine for the centre console, just don't do any exterior painting with them.

You can definitely do interior paint without colour coding, you can only really tell the difference when comparing the two side by side. So save the money on an actual colour match for the interior.
