Finally got round to posting a pic
Went to the paint shop yesterday with my codes in hand and very excited
"no problem mate back in a minute with your paint"
:eek:
Looks like someone has resprayed my van and not been bothered to get the orig paint. Das is shiezer.
So, is my best option to stand in the paint shops car park with a thousand chips under a certain light on a dry day when the wind is westerly or is there a more scientific way I can colour match
please
