I try to tell all Halfords customers this but they never listen and they're back in the next day having the paint mixed to the colour code on their car

Something like that

A touch up stick wouldn't match the paint because the paint on the car has been sprayed at a certain pressure to achieve the maximum effect, a touch up stick just wouldn't be as flippy

Nope, star silver is star silver. Jsut like
Brocade yellow is brocade yellow
Arden blue is arden blue
Auroa Purple is auroa purple

Each pain has its own name. May appear different in different lights, but still the same paint.

Some1's been yanking yer plank fella.

nah that's not right. There are variations of star silver and each has its own code. The variations are not great enough to require the use of 2 or more different names. Vauxhall also have slightly different shades which they use for spraying plastics such as the bumpers as the different material produces a different end finish.
