Timo. 0 Posted August 24, 2004 Where's the best place to get paint from? Getting some work done to spruce the car up in the near future and want to make sure I get the proper paint. Is VW the best place to get it from? and if so how much money are we talking about?? Thanks Timo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigneil 0 Posted August 24, 2004 Halfords will do a paint match if you give them your paint code, think they can even blend it if the original paint has faded a bit.Can buy from a vw body shop also I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablo_vr6 0 Posted August 24, 2004 i get my paint made at the local paint / carparts place. they take the colour code and make it up. the halfords down here also do that. about a tenner for a spraycan, cheaper paint seems to be a worse match tho.

Timo. 0 Posted August 24, 2004 Tried Halfords. The match isn't exactly great, in fact its pretty poor. Timo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradovr6sc 0 Posted August 24, 2004 A local place which mixes paint for me has colour cards and there are always 5 or 6 different shades of the same colour. If you could find the paint supplier for your local bodyshops they would probably be able to sort you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
