Needed to buy some Trafalgar Blue paint for a small repair last week so went to a specialist automotive paint supplier and bought small can they mixed while I waited, cost £17.30 +vat result colour match a mile out. In desperation went to my local Halfords and purchased a can they mixed while I waited cost £10.99 result perfect colour match. Just shows you don’t always get what you pay for.

It might just be that Halfords still had stock of the correct tinters . Most specialist bodyshops will mix to spec but can only use the tinters that are now available, the same goes for 2K . The celly and 2K markets are shrinking quickly and most bodyshop paint suppliers will no longer stock new tinters as the demand eventually deminishes.
Probably best to go to a specialist celly stockist if you need more paint or back to Halfords and hope that they still have the tinter in stock.

Might be worth me buying some more to have in stock as it were?jonathon wrote:It might just be that Halfords still had stock of the correct tinters .
