Spray paint
Just had my first attempt at a little rust treatment on my van, but where can I get a tin of spray paint to match the original white/ cream colour of the van. What companies can match it if I have the code. ?

Halfords stock Rattle cans for them but any decent paint sprayer can get them mixed up

Re: Spray paint
WHS. Don't rely on the paint code as it's unlikely the paint is the same shade now as when it was squirted on over 30 years ago. A local automotive paint supplier should be able to mix up a couple of rattle cans that will match. That's what I did.
Are we going on anything else?

Re: Spray paint
Local auto paint suppliers are usually helpfull.
When I asked for a litre of paint and 2 rattle cans of same colour , he suggested buying a litre then he takes a little out to make up rattle cans. You end up with much cheaper rattle cans, plenty of paint for brushing/touching up, and all the paint supplied is same colour
