The paint you get will probably be a very different shade of grey due to the age of the paint on the car.
Anyway, why do you want to order in online? I got it in my local motor factors before for €15. Halfords charges €20 I think.

Dont buy rubbish paint from halfords, the colour will be off, especially in silver, especially out of an aerosol.
Go to a pro mate.
The amount of people who ive seen trying to do this and in the end ur car looks worst than before.

The reason i know is, i attempted this with an aerosol A34 in "colour" from halfrauds.
Silver is a very hard colour to match even for professional.
There are some colours which u may be able to achive better results using aerosols, such as white, but not silver.

I got the A34 from Halfords once - it was a TOTALLY different colour. The guy have me a refund when I brought it back to them though.

You can order touch-up paint from camskill, but I'm not sure it would be enough from what you have in mind?
I think some people here have used it before, so can comment on the colour match, but given the age and colour, it may be hard to match either way.

I wouldn't bother with the touch up paint from camskill unless the job you wanted it for was tiny.
You only get 15ml

You're always best off getting spray work done professionally. It's to easy to make a pig of it.
Did you manage to get it somewhere else that it matched?
