I recently 'closed the evil eye' on my bumper using some very cheap halfords paint.. which clearly was wrong because my car is the same colour as every other 326 arctic white s13 (proof is in pictures too).

and my bumper now has a patch of rather green-tinted white paint

So I am clearly going to need to get my paint mixed professionaly!

any suggestions on where to ask ?

I`m not too sure what it`s like your way but most towns have speciallist auto paint shops, where you take your car and they will match your colour and then make a can of spray paint for you, on the spot, takes about 15 mins, and cost anything from £12.00 to £17.00
