Smile Paint Query

Hi Everyone

Went into my local Halfords to check on some Paint as I want to do little touch up, but looking in store there wasn't any Rover/MG colours would I need to have it made up I don't need that much to warrant a full batch to be made anyone have any ideas my code is MBB and is Starlight Silver.
Cheers

Hi just take the paint code in to your local auto paint supplier and they will mix you a 1/4 ltr for about £8..

Just note that it's really hard to spray metallic paints so that it looks ok even with a good paint match. There's far more to it than just spraying it on. ( Flat colours are easy). I gave up trying to touch up a bonnet in starlight silver - it just got worse and worse. YMMV.

I don't know if it's true or not - I was told once that Silver is the worst paint to match - and a Full respray would be required for a Good even tone - this was Not r.e any Inquiry for having work done this was way before i even considered sitting my driving test.

depends how Good a finish you want i suppose

Remember when my first ever 75 a 2000 1.8 classic se
Some one had hit her and it damaged the bumper and front wing it was silver I'm not sure which silver I'm afraid but had to go back twice cause they struggled to match it so Paul I have to agree with you though a paint expert would know which is actually the worsed colour to paint, maybe we have any car painters who are members who could tell us there experiences. 🤔
