If it's had a colour change, they did a bloody good job, as it's got black through the holes of the plate (and presumably behind the plate as well.)

I'd get a sample pot first just incase it has been resprayed....That way u can put a little in a small non visible area and check colour match :cool:

That's right.. blame it on the person merely making an observation.

Go to a paint factors with your car and ask if you can borrow some color chips, if it doesn't match then you haven't spent 30/40 quid on half a litre of paint, otherwise it would be a case of ringing the previous owner to see if its ever seen a blow over.

You can buy smaller pots than that....Plus sometimes those colour chips dont always do the justice

Depends, if the paints waterbased 1/2 a litre will be plenty, so you've then got some left over for touch ins etc. With blacks I usually colour up with any solvent black colours I've got left over from previous jobs (not mettalic) even aerosol occasionally/ sand back with 1000 wet and dry( dry flatting/ in a straight motion) or an ablon disc then hit with the correct colour base coat followed by laquer.

If that makes sense.
