dont understand why people get so narky about people asking a simple question. Yeh he could drive 15miles or ring them but maybe someone on here has bought cans from them before and can give a straight answear

I had to get a spray can from a Peugeot main dealer once, so maybe vauxhall will do them too. I had to order it though, don't keep them in stock.

Let's all debate on how the OP *should* have handled his query, what methods he should have used to find out the information first, before actually just answering his question.
This seems to be a common theme nowadays on this website, I'm surprised people still ask any questions on here or post links to anything without fear of everyone jumping on them telling them how 'they' would have done things or "repost" replies.

I was thinking that!
To the OP, I would suggest using Paints4u - they do aerosols too and their colour matches on touch up paints I've ordered from there in the past has been great.

you're comparing brand new paint to paint on a bodyshell that is over 10 years old and may not have been polished recently.
unfair contest.
