Default Nurburgring/Suzuka blue paint source?

Need some but the only place I've found is an aerosol can for £20! Has anyone got a cheaper source?

It's for the calipers so doesn't have to be exact.

Thanks in advance

Do Halfords not do it, or a local parts/panel shop?

There's a place in Warrington that reckon they can match any paint - could give them a shout (I'll be going past later, so will update with tel no if you want?)

That'd be brilliant SW! Looked at every halfords I've been in over the last year and never seen any. Same with independents.

You won't - the car's too rare.

Take your colour code to a good motor factors/car paints shop & they'll make you a tube specially.

Won't it have to be a high temperature paint?

Yes, but some people claim it's not been an issue.

I've melted the PC on my wheels on a trackday before, so mine are unpainted...

It's only for dress up. If it burns off, it burns off. Hence not really wanting to spend a fortune on it.

Maybe best finding a similar blue as cheapest option.

If you must paint them,, paint them gunmetal/sliver or black.
