April 12, 201411 yr When I've been into halfrauds I've never been able to find subaru paint.....am I missing something? Could do with a touch up pen myself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 12, 201411 yr Sorry to hear it, I see quite a few bad drivers around these days and I'm very scared of leaving the Subaru parked in a busy car park :(

April 13, 201411 yr if you give halfords your reg they will mix the paint to exact colour in either a touch up or spray can, I've done this a few times now
April 13, 201411 yr Loads of places on on Ebay that paint mix I've used one a couple of times was spot on.

Just point out not sure if that is the matching colour. So don't go buying it without checking might have to send them your colour code. :)
April 13, 201411 yr Washed and put club sticker on...pics later gambit mate....it's fookin' great fella Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 13, 201411 yr Halfrauds are actually quite good with paints. Or at least the branch near me is. The nozzles are the same as the ones on that eBay listing and can get them there and then. I'm never 100% convinced buying paint on ebay personally you never know if it is a real pain manufacturer or a bloke in his shed haha Think I'm going to tackle my small rust bubbles at some point :-) not sure where I'll get paint from yet
April 13, 201411 yr http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/categorydisplay_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_categoryId_165505_langId_-1 6.50/7.50 for standard cans, i think it may be the same for mixing but dont quote em on that ight be a tenner or so. The last on i had had the same nozzle as the ebay ad and they show you the mix before the can it so if your not happy they can change it etc. As i say i've found them really good but i'm abit impatient about waiting for things lol so they are just easier too
April 13, 201411 yr there a tenner each from ebay so extra 3 quid to have it there an then is worth it in my opinion
April 13, 201411 yr Depends on convenience, if you're near a store, then yes I'd call in and pick one up, but my nearest store is 25 mins away, so getting it delivered would be a bonus
April 13, 201411 yr Washed and put club sticker on...pics later gambit mate....it's fookin' great fella Ok, as promised..... Before.... and after...... :D :D :D Gambit - the only thing I'd perhaps ask your mate who made them is can he add the 'dot' before the com; ie .com - my stickers didn't come with 'the dot' Took my time applying it. A good tip would be to apply lots of pressure to the backing paper that you want the letters to stay attached to before removing the paper from the front of the sticker. That way you won't leave any letters behind when you peel the first side off. Then just offer it up, again apply lots of pressure on the letters themselves to ensure they bond to the glass, then peel away slowly. Have to say it does look great in the silver, although I'm obviously biased haha :P

Tried to email them to ask a question but they don't accept questions due to high levels of correspondence.....poor service that really and making me think of just going to my local dealer
April 13, 201411 yr Depends on convenience, if you're near a store, then yes I'd call in and pick one up, but my nearest store is 25 mins away, so getting it delivered would be a bonus That's a very good point. Mines literally 2 minutes away
April 13, 201411 yr After fitting the new downpipe I've lost the element of stealth due to the extra roar . so chucked a sponge at it and took it for a "spin dry" before waxing it with the zorst bung in ...... only boosted to .9 bar and far to quiet........ so promptly put the bung back in the boot where it belongs :-D
April 13, 201411 yr Ok, as promised.....

Have to say it does look great in the silver, although I'm obviously biased haha :P Haha Yeah I have asked him the same thing I noticed it when I looked at the pink stickers. Could maybe cut one out the 2nd sticker for now. But I did email him about that :D And coming back from the BBQ had a BMW with his Girlfriend or wife in the car, the hatch looking thing come flying up my !Removed! from no where.So I slowed down as he was about half a car up my rear. Geared down and left him safe to say he didn't try
April 13, 201411 yr Thanks :) When my local Halfrauds makes the paint cans up they use the worse type of spray cap I've ever seen. the ready made off the shelfs are ok
