Has anyone got any idea where i can get Brocade Yellow rattle cans from? Halfrauds dont sell them and i wanted to paint a spoiler and a few other parts. Might end up down at the local paint supplyer and have to fire up the compressor.

Halfords will mix it, but it's a shite match (as you can probably see)
Vauxhall will, but it's not cheap, I think it was about £13 a can, maybe more.

where do you get your spray cans from mate? out of interest
A local company called autopaint. They supply to the trade but they do an aerosol service aswell. I usually take down the petrol flap, they colour match it, mix the paint, put it in an aerosol and ive not yet had a tin that spurts or stutters the way crap makes do.. The nozzles they use spray in a fan aswell so its not circular like crap makes (if that makes sense).
The laquer I use is autoclear.. Considering it comes from a tin its amazing. I'll post some pics of a wing I've just painted, will give you an idea..
they're in scotland though

there will be more than one shade for that megane, so if you dont pick the exact shade, then obv its not going to match
only way for them to get a perfect match is to make up a small amount of one shade, then work their way through them all to find the exact one
i could go ask halfords to mix me up a can of 24L spectral blue, and they have over 20 different shades to choose from, where as if i ask them for 24L/G i know its going to be spot on (i only know that coz i picked the shade though)
