[Le S2 Audi]

Took paint back today. Spoke to dep manager.
He says " did you give them the code?" Doh, never thought of that...
Course I did.
"So which one of the 5 colours did you have?"
"What 5 colours, youff said only one."
Manager shows me the computer, yep, 5 shades of Land Rover Niagra black to pick
Youff had done the first (like black)
Manager made me the light one n its a match
Shame it took me another 2 hours to paint what I d already done yesterday!
I ll be going elsewhere next time

At least they sorted it...

They could have just given you the 2 finger reply...

Yeah we went thru the paint code books as it was easier lol, picked a colour that was interesting and finally got them to make it.

I had to get some paint the other day to do the wheels for on my daily as the local place was shut, went in and asked to see the colour match books, me and aiden went thru them and selected a good few colours and got bored by the slow service and useless staff, I was either told that he couldn't mix the paint up for the selected colour as he's not allowed to (think it was something about lead content) or that he did not know how to, in the end he got that fed up/bored that he mixed the lamborgini colour I wanted doing in the first place.

I popped into Halfords yesterday, they didn't have the car cleaning stuff I was looking for, but I did need a sponge, so, with £1.39 I walked towards the checkout. There were 17 people waiting to pay, one cashier and a dispute about a child seat refund.

Abandoned sponge and left.

I had the same problem on an old golf, went back and demanded my money back, in the end I got an exchange, went through the stock colours, found one that was close and it matched perfectly

Seems everywhere is crap or inconsistent, at least local to me. The good body repair people mix there own paint

[bluequattro]

Don t get your paint mixed there!
Useless!
Paid £13 for a small can
Removed rust, rust treated, skimmed, primed, top coated, lacquered
Take the bloody masking stuff off, wrong F in colour.
Was close match in the shop ( but on a piece of paper)
Yeh, my fault for trusting them, but can t be 100% unless you re spraying it on existing colour
B*gger
