You're best off going into your local Halfords/car accessories shop, imo. That way you can see exactly what colours you're buying, etc.

It might be a little more effort, but it's worth it in the long run.

Halfords are bound to have an online store tho arent they?

Go to a local body shop and ask if they've got any nearly empty tins if they don't need.

Worth a shot - likely to be cheaper as well.

They do, but they don't sell paint (as far as I can see)

Go to halfords, its £5 a can and I think its like a permanent 3 for 2 offer so its all good!

Blooming useless aint it then Mind u I would imagine thats bcos shipping paint could be problematic I would think?

[unrealrocks]

Yeah - Prob because of that, although certain courers like Securicor will take it!

I'd imagine that shipping aerosol cans of any form (especially paints, glues, etc) could be problematic... especially if you're a 14 year old who keeps getting asked for ID for spray adhesive at B&Q

Try a Wilinkins - I got some glossy 'plasti-cote' stuff for £3.95 and it works a treat on painted sufaces, metal & platic.
