Aerosol paint recommendations

[donkmeister]

I need to strip back some light surface rust and prime+paint+lacquer the areas in the boot of one of my cars.

It's hidden behind carpet and trim so a 100% perfect colour match is less critical than a durable finish that will protect the metal from future water ingress repeats (the cause of the current rust). However, I would like to at least try to maintain the factory colour so I can't just brush on Hammerite or similar.

Part of me says to just get the Halfords own brand, but this is PH so... Where would you recommend I get aerosol cans for such use?

Dingbro do good colour matches. But only usefull if in scotland.

There's usually trade paint suppliers in most cities,they will be able to make you aerosols up.

If Halfords actually have your colour on the shelf then go for that, the match is usually as good as you'll get in my experience, and the
nozzles work well, their clear lacquer is also decent quality. If not just get a paint shop to make one up, the nozzles on those are
often a bit spurty I've found, you need to keep wiping it between sprays.

Upol is excellent for primer stuff - big can & decent nozzle/spray pattern

I would get the base paint mixed up and use a spot clear in a can. A paint jobber will be able to mix paint and put it in an aerosol.

Colour matched by Stevie Wonder, wouldn’t even consider this.

This is the place to get auto spray paint. Just give them the colour code. Used them on 2 different cars and both times the colour match and finish was spot on.
