Hi all,

I may have dreamed it but i'm sure i read a topic on here a while back about Halfords rattle cans and that they were changing from making individual car colours to making a range of 5 or 6 shades of each basic colour...?

I'm interested to know as i may be spraying bits and bobs of my car soon and i'd rather wait until the "new" colours come out so i don't buy some of the old cans and then not be able to get any more halfway through!

Matt.

Why do you want to use Halfords?

If you find you local paint supplier they will mix you up some paint in a rattle can that actually matches!!

Halfords Cans are full of propellant, hardly any paint in there. So you end up with a really "lousy"?, looking paint job.

Halfrauds paint is gash. End of. Most paint suppliers will do you a rattle can for around a tenner and if you can take the car there (or a bit of it) they'll match it up.
