Matching star silver 2 spray?
I'm thinking of spraying my bumpers, arches, boot lock, door handles silver (not sure if it will look too silver but we will see aha) I think I will be using spray cans as I don't have a compressor... I know silver is a hard colour to match so any tips on getting a good match?

Halfords do matched paint i used halfords vauxhall flame red and it was a good match
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Matching star silver 2 spray?
I have used star silver 2 from halfords to spary the bumpers & arches. It was OK. It seemed quite thin so you need quite a few coats to cover the primer.
Colour match was OK - maybe a little grey compared to the rest of the car but only noticeable if you are looking for it. That could be because I didn't put enough top coats on or the original paint has aged.

Oh thanks! Would using white primer make any difference? As in make it less grey?
