THE MOOSE, WESTFALIA WHITE 1989 NEEDED SOME WORK DOING TO IT AND I SPRAYED IT WITH THE PAINT SOLD AT HALFORDS, NOT ALPINE WHITE, IT WAS PASTEL WHITE. THE NEW PAINT IS A SLIGHTLY MORE YELLOW SHADE THAN THE ORIGINAL, IS THIS DUE TO MY PAINT FADING. WHERE CAN I GET A SLIGHTLY BETTER MATCH, I JUST NEED TO RESPRAY A SINGLE SEEM I'VE REDONE.
THANKS AS ALWAYS

PS MERRY CHRISTMAS WERE NEARLY THERE

Try a local motor factors, ask round and see who mixes paint themselves, they will be able to match to your van or the paint code. It's likely that your whole van will have faded though so a good T-Cutting session is probably in order before you take it to them to match with.

What he said, plus no need to shout cap lock of please!

the caps was because with my extreme typing talent can look at the screen and type at same time!
sorry to offend, i am well mannered normally.

thanks for the advice, when i t cut it doesn't seem to make much difference to the colour but maybe I need to use more elbow grease

Hi Damon
You meet need to use a rubbing compound to bring it up. Realise you are a bit far away but I have an excellent electric d/a polisher here if you wish to call round.

Halfords 'Pastel White' isn't even close. It didn't match my old white, even after t-cutting or my new white after the respray.........
