Walleroo Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Has or does anyone have any details for any companies that supply paint coded aerosols that are cheaper than halfords? Got some tarting up to do shortly but I'm skit so looking to save cash wherever possible. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan23 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Most spray places can mix them up for you, dunno if they will be cheaper or not, just rig around and ask. Think you can also get them online but you run the risk of it being totally the wrong colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleroo Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Cool. I will give em all a ring around then. There is one nearby that I have just seen didn't know if there might be anyone the club tends to use for this sort if thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan23 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Their might be, put your location, but I think most go halfrauds. You will probably find it won't work up much cheaper else where. Some motor factors can do it too, the local to my parents do it but it's more than halfrauds lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 worth going down with the car, they can then tint it too match the shade of your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usetheforce Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I know this isn't what you was asking but just in case anyone ever needs codes for their Gen 5 I have list of paint codes on my site here, I had a look in halfords the other day for some paint (for my Gen 6) and none of the toyota 'reds' were anywhere near a match for my car!
