tis what i thought...
place round corner from me has got some cheep paint....thought bout buyin some
yeah why not, the only thing that i could imangine would make a difference if u used like halfords primer with a different make piant, prob best to keep same make, prob just me taking shite anyway!
Halfords paint is shit for colour matching. i have a mistral grey car and when i tried a bit of spraying i may as well have used yellow the colour match was that bad. I ALWAYS go straight to vauxhall for my paint (and the right laquer comes with my paint)

if you go to your local auto paint supplier they will normaly mix you a paint in a spray can and normaly they not only match the colour they usaly match the shade as most paint fade i recently did a job on my mums car and they did a perfect match a large spray can was about ?11.00 but it was worth it for the colour match.
Always use a decent primer.
