Sourcing flash red paint?

I need to touch up some stone chips and spray over some filler....

Where is the best place to get FLash red paint that will actually be the same colour as the car?

Do halfords do it, and is it actually the correct colour?

Go to VW - its a much better colour match than the halfords paint, which isnt that great to be honest with you!

Thats pretty much what I was thinking...Bit of a pain really because VW paint is going to cost a t*t load!

Urgh...I guess this is the price you have to pay to keep your new toy looking shiny...

THat and the various cleaning products I need to buy once I figure out what I need...

i got some from vw the other day it cost me Â£12 but when i went back to pick it up (it had to be ordered in especially) I got a can of paint and a can of lacquer too.

There was just enough paint in the can to paint 1 and a half splitters lol - but Â£12 for paint and lacquer is not to bad imo.

but as alex said, go to vw, just colour coded my splitter, it looks awesome
