Sorry mate, im finding it hard to understand your thread, might be worth reading through it and edit a few words. Also might be worth getting some pictures

Right if you got it from Halfords did you check the paint colour stated on the can against the Vauxhall Colour? How did you find out what colour your corsa is, you may have got the wrong colour paint mate

paint is th right colour becuase when i sprayed it on, it was the same colour, and when you wipe it with a cloth colour goes darkblue again, but after it dryz is got light blue again.

have you applied several layers? About 5 is ideal. Also you need to leave them for at least an hour between each layer.

spot on, I normally spray over the area a few times in the first sitting, then leave the paint 15mins to dry, then apply the second take (spray over the area a good few times), then leave the paint to dry for 15mins, then do the same for the final coat.

Remember to shake the can for 2mins before spraying the area and hold it about 15cm's away from the panel

Get some pictures up if you can matey, be good to see your progress

did u clean the area you are spraying thoroughly first ?
cos your gona be doing this all agen when it flakes off m8

and also you should apply your next coats when the paint is TACKY not dry then apply nice wet coats youl know when you go too heavy cos youl be rubbing down the runs u get later
also some U-POL canned laquer is quite good for small jobs so tht myt do u just fine m8 gd luk eh !
