Paint matching in Ireland

ZENER

Is there anywhere that I can bring a sample and have the colour made up in a rattle can ?

I bought a car that was resprayed in a non-standard colour and I need to get some made up to touch up some parts.

Thanks

Motor factors possibly but you're probably better off checking with local bodyshops

Don't bother with vinnie byrne's, I think they've lost interest to be honest. The last time I used them I was really disappointed. I ended up going to Car Paint out in Blanchardstown/ Ballycoolin, very helpful and far more interested in my business. Way better match too.

Thanks lads, I emailed Vinney Byrne’s but got no reply yet.

That place in Blanchardstown might be worth a go. I presume they have some way of scanning the original paint?

Thanks

That place in ballycoolin is open on a Saturday as well. They matched mine very well. I'll see if I can root out a picture

See if this works

Did you ask the guy that painted it for the code?

ZENER

The lad I bought the car from isn't the one who sprayed it so he doesn't know. It was one of the many questions I asked before I bought it.
I'll call the place in Blanchardstown tomorrow. I presume it's this place ? http://www.carpaintdirect.ie ?

Thanks again.

Just used Vinnie Byrne for the second time, delivered in three days and a perfect match. I'd be very cautious about using the likes of Halfords.

Yeah that's the place. They have all the necessary gear. The last time I used them was for a flat colour for a Morris minor. I gave them a piece of trim and they matched it perfectly.
