best to get a colour-match book with the little squares with holes in the middle to try and get a better fit - remember, the paint fades slowly over time and with repeated washings..... tried to get some touch up that matched my paint code and it was very noticably darker. spoke to the feller on halfords paint counter and he let me borrow the paint samples folder and go play in the car park for a half hour (on a sunny day - important!) to get the closest match. after testing it, im now planning on getting a second batch with some slight tweaks to the mix (a little less strong colour, a little darker..)

I just noticed... took some looking.. couldnt figure out if it was a spanner, or a wierd camera, or a very wierd todger til I looked at the piccy name, then like a magic eye it all snapped together.
I think someone's been looking at too many dodgy ebay items.
I give it the finger's up anyway.
