I'm looking at painting my mini over a space of time and want to know two things, first if I order some orange paint and then order the same orange paint again say 5 months later will the match be perfect? If not how long will the paint keep/storage advice? (I'm going to use celly)
Secondly have any of you got recommended company's you buy paint from I'm looking for lairy orange (like an focus st maybe louder) and gloss black
Thanks

Celly will last in a sealed tin for at least 2 years or longer. I'd get what you need to do the whole job so colour matching wont be an issue.

 

When I did mine (this last summer) I ordered 5 litres and gave it 7 coats.

 

I get mine from my local paint factor. Probably best to see if there's one near you. Alternatively there are plenty of suppliers on ebay.

 

You'll need the paint code when ordering.

Odds of getting a perfect match after any length of time is vertically 0 get everything you need in one batch.
