Filling rust and finding BRITISH RACEING GREEN PAINT!

[max]

Does any one know where to buy cheap british racing green paint, as we have a few rust holes and rust and we are going to get some filler, but we need some british raceing green paint to paint over the holes & rust!

Thanks Max

There are *loads* of different British racing greens. If it's only a small amount you may get away with taking a bit of car that fell off down to halfords and getting the can that matches it closely. Otherwise just go into your local garage and ask them who they use for paint matching. That person should be able to mix up a can of paint to match the bit of car you send them.

Thanks my uncle is a rolls royce and bently dealer he has a spray room but ill go down to halfords and get some paint (is it about £10?) as i have a £10 halfords voucher? Thank you for your help

Yeah should be a bit less than a tenner. If you are sanding back to metal you'll need to prime the area first otherwise the paint will fall off. Use grey primer if you can get it.
