Ive got at least two re-sprays coming up but the cost of a litre of 2 pack means that its probably cheaper for me to get a pro to do it as it cost over 300 to do my last mini.

Can anyone get paint on trade prices or put me in touch with a local who can help me out!

Cheers

Have a look at this website..

www.paints4u.com (Based in UK)

Go to the Vehicle Colours section

I havent tried them but 2 pack is listed as £29 - £45 per litre

Might be worth a try.

Cheers

cheers mate

I am trying to figure out what colour white my clubbie is , is there a paint code stamped on the Vin plates? If so what am I looking for?

Do you have a proper booth for spraying as Im half thinking of hiring one for a weekend if they arent too expensive?

Depending on the age of the car the big vin plate has the 3 digit paint code on it... older ones have a commision number but not sure if that contains the paint code.
