Been a while since I've bought a spray can from Halfords. Renault glacia white 369 I needed. Found it on the shelf, just says Renault glacier white. The colour looks off. No colour code on the can. The colour code chart on the shelving has no mention of Renault glacier white. Colour code book says they can make any colour up within 24hours. Spoke to someone, they said they have no clue what colour code is what and they don't offer the 24h service anymore.

Is there anyone online that anyone could recommend ? There's a couple specialists here where I live but they want £22.99+vat to make up a can. Seems extremely pricey.

Plenty of choices on eBay, for example.

I use Halfords spray paints all the time, but not for painting or matching to a real cars paint. Sometimes custom filled cans aswell, depending on the colour.

Grumps.

Is that including the paint?

If so, I would say it’s very reasonable.

Your local motor factor will make up an aerosol can for you. All they need is the paint code and 15 minutes.
