Hi

I'm looking at doing a repaint soon but can't decide on colour I have 4 shades of blue I like but want to see them all side by side before I decide

Is there anywhere that sells samples or will I just have to ask a body shop to create

Thanks
Neil

Check you local motorfactors of Halfords type place.

Mine mixes aerosol cans and nail varnish sizes touch up pots if I give them a paint code. It’s ideal for doing small swatches to decide on a paint colour.

Thanks
Handy to know Halfords do that. I just need to find the paint codes now

Which blues are you interested in. Just done mine speedwell. Any paint shop worth its wotsit should sell any aerosol of whatever paint code for under a tenner to try.

Im looking at four different porsche blues; Mexico, Riviera, Miami, and Gulf. The first two are very similar and hard to tell apart Miami has more turquoise in it a Mexico seems more pastel

Ideally I want a sample to compare in different lights. A sample like they have in b&q would be good but they only do them for house paints
