Hi all, looking to get hold of an aerosol can of touch up paint for my Polo. It's Fjord/Pacific Blue LR5V, went to Halfords and they had to mix some up. Ended up completely cocking it up and the final result was no-where like my own car - http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?...p;#entry2131596

Is there anywhere in Cardiff that would mix up a spray can of paint for me, preferably matching it to my car's on bodywork?

Seriously, try Volkswagen. I got a can of LA7U and the paint match was perfect. Plus you get a can of lacquer with it.

Oh cool man, never thought of that. How much does it cost and how much do you get?

Any time iv wanted a great colour match i use paints4u. Halfords is only as good as the gimp that mixes it.

i think its £13 i paid that inc vat.

not big cans but honestly the best stuff out there.

plus you get the lacquer.

Youve got a sikkens depot in cardiff as we use sikkens and glasurit at my body shop, try getting hold of sikkens and theyll make you an aerosol can. Ask them if there is any chance you could pop down and have a colour match as for each colour code theres atleast 4 different shades lol! Theyll choose the best shade and should mix it straight away. If that fails try getting in contact with a company called UPOL there mint aswell! Hope this helps

£13ish and you get two smallish cans, one with paint and the other with lacquer. It's plenty for touch ups.
