    Hello folks, total newbie here!

    Just wanted to ask where i could get car paint mixed other than Halfords because they cant help me.
    I have a few patches of missing paint on my bumper/wheel arches & Im sick of the sight of them.
    All i want is little spray container of the correct paint mixed for me.
    This has been a stupid ongoing problem so i hope i can get some advice.

    Thanks;)

    a good motor factors should do it for you .if they cant ask them where the nearest motor factor that mixs paint is. your only problem is that it could be waterbase paint and unless you are use to it, its hard to use

    A bit of advice would be if you have never sprayed a car before be very, very careful with what you are doing as it's quite easy to make a complete balls of it and make the car look worse. If it was me unless it's a very old car I would leave it to a pro to do.

    If you just want paint, and are happy to be able to spray it yourself, I'll mix you a little tub for free. You'd need spray equipment.

    Failing that, if you want an aerosol tin, and you're confident in your own skills, Motorway motorfactors across from Harvey Norman on the Kinsale Road will be able to mix a quantity for you, and put it in an aerosol tin too. Don't forget to buy primer, and clear coat too.

    Thanks for the advice PD, its a 1996 toyota hilux & its not worth spending big money on yet its annoying me!
    Its just a few patches of missing paint on the silver metallic bumper & wheel arches, the rest of the car is green & in good nick.
    I'l go over to that place you recommended & see what they can do for me.
    Cheers.:D
