Default My Paint / Respray problem

It finally happened, on the one day I forgot to take my trusty traffic cone out of my boot to place in front of my S someone scraped my front bumper/wing taking off some paint and primer.

Initial quote is for a full bumper respray is

Yep, give the paint code to Halfords and they can mix an aerosol for you. I doubt you would get a decent match with a metallic colour though.

Better off getting a few more quotes IMHO,

PS are there any commercial/car paint producing shops/sheds locally on your trading estate? maybe worth a try finding one as they will get the colour match and probably be alot cheaper.

Even with having the right colour its difficult enough to spray the patch without it being noticeable
