has anyone on here asked halfords to mix paint from a RAL code, but withough knowing which car the colour is from?

I tried and they were like, computer says no.

Honestly you would have thought I'd asked them to tell me my mothers maiden name there was so much head stratching.

ah well... they once told me in mine they could do it if i knew the paint code, but wasn't sure if thats what they meant (or even if they meant it )

i'd like some RAL2005 ebay has it, but i'm not really sure about having paint posted
its a fair bit cheaper than halfords though...

halfords will mix from a ral code number. They also have an array of colour charts to peruse.
