Benn told by a couple of people silver is a very hard colour to match when doing small amount of spraying, such as small rust repairs etc. Is this true? is it going to be more difficult to match than say blue (the only other colour ive really sprayed) or will i be ok?

Yep silver is the most difficult colour both to match and to blend into other panels. For example if you had to do a repair the middle of the door, you'd have to spray the whole side out.

Because it’s metallic and is more like glitter with a tint of colour to it, so unlike solid colours is slightly transparent. Think that’s about right.
