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.
