Default Where do you buy paint?

Daft question probably as they sell it in Halfords and at the main dealer, but I don't want to go there as they're both a bit crap. So can I just pop along to a body/paint shop and ask for some 95H code paint or get them to actually match it to my car - is that how it's done?

Yes, lots of independent businesses out there who can mix any colour you need.

Hi Rob, where are you based? Autopaints in brighton are very good - My friend owns a car body shop and uses them all the time. If you need anything painted or repaired then facebook "PK Autos LTD"

Cheers for that. I'm by Castle Combe in Wilts so will try the places in Swindon first.
