I’m trying to get the correct paint for my mx5 Monaco. Went into halfords knowing its British racing green code HU. However halfords don’t stock it and when they mixed me a free sample and they came out with the colour neon green and it’s a few shades too light. So now I’m trying to see of they made a mistake or if I can use a British racing green from another manufacturer. Any help or advice or where people have bought paint from before much appreciated. I only need a small rattle can for touch ups.
I used to have a BRG Mk1 - Halfords were hit and miss - 1st can was Neo so no good but the 2nd was HU when they mixed it and it was a good match - so maybe best to look over their shoulder when they are on the mix counter pc. Other independant motor factors with the colour kit should be able to do it too. I tried a Mazda dealers and they just laughed at me when I asked for a tin of paint…Good Luck
