If u go a paint shop they can normally make it pretty spot on mate as they have charts to match up with where as main stream stores just bulk buy so it cud be slightly off

Some motor factors will mix the paint and fill a can to match your paint code

I Know that my local Halfords do cans of Arden Blue

and when painting a bumper you want to follow this guide paint will be a good match to the rest of you car

1.Right , lightly sand/scotch pad the plastic make sure it's bone dry and clean First
2.Use a few nice thin coats of plastic primer
3.Once dry use filler primer Do a few thin coats so it's smooth
4.Then use a 1000 grade wet & Dry paper to make sure it's deffo smooth Depends how happy you are with it
5.Then you want 2 nice even coats of paint in your case Arden Blue
6.Then use a 2k clear coat to make it really glossy and protect it

follow this and you should get some spot on work buddy 8)

I used it for a back bumper but it was just under the trim

It wasn't a perfect match but I think my car was resprayed in a different shade Arden in its life time because even the paint I got mixed didn't match perfectly

Harkus sprayed his splitter and it was near perfect for a rattle can job
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
