I brought some lightbrows, and in the instruction manual it says to spray with a 'flexible' primer and a 'flexible paint' Firstly, do these even need to be primed, they are smooth and black already.....which defeats the priming stage? And secondly where on earth do you buy 'flexible' paint? Halfords certainly don't do it and have never heard of it. Just normal paint ok?

so acrylic primer would be fine from halfords. Would you recommend i get the paint off Vauxhall themselves and not through halfords, i want an exact colour match

Ok cheers mate. Would multi purpose primer be ok, say from teh likes of homebase or sumwhere similar. Or should i go for proper acrylic primer from halfords. And how much wud i be looking to pay for an aerosol of star silver paint from vaux? is it best to get it from vaux rather than halfords? Cheers
