Mixing Paint

[Demonic Angel]

My dad needs some paint mixing for his Land Rover (ok, so he's not Toyota, but his daughter is.... :P )

It needs to be very specific paint though, because his 1st Land Rover is an old army one, its not for his Discovery.

I know you can do to B&Q and they'll mix wall paint for you - is there anywhere that will mix car paint for you? Preferably in the Midlands area really, but if anyone could give us any leads, we'd be grateful!

Does he have a paint code? If so try a motor factor they should be able to help

[Chuck04]

Halfords can do it for u for £10 if u know the code

[Demonic Angel]

I dont think there is a code - he just wants a specific colour..... like they do at B&Q for walls, but for his Land Rover.....

nottingham central car paints are good. if he goes into any paint dealers and ask to see the colour swatches for the colour he wants (ie green) thumb through find the colour he wants and they will mix it for him. if he keeps the paint code itll then make touch ups easier. hope this helps

[Demonic Angel]

Thanks, I'll try and get in touch with them - cheers Dawesy!

Of course, if its MOD green - give someone like Mat C a call - the colour hasnt changed in 60 years ;)

[Demonic Angel]

I really dont know what colour he wants, he just wants me to find somewhere that mixes paint, nowhere in Rugby does....

Still, its an army Land Rover, so it will probably be MOD green.... Could also be wanting the first electric pink Land Rover..... who knows?

Have you tried NRP in Nuneaton (just by Halfords)? Or Rae motor factors on derby road can supply automotive paint as well.

Halfords mix paint, with or without a code.

[knightrider]

Halfords also havent got a clue about doing it, never a perfec match from them,
