Does anyone know where I can buy a can of aerosol paint for my 2001 reg Rover 45. It's Wedgewood Blue 2, code JBH.

The only place I have found it so far is Rimmer Bros and they want to charge me £9.95 for standard postage?!?!?! I'm not paying that!!

Does anyone know why the postage from Rimmer Bros is so extortionate?

After hearing horror stories about Halfrauds I'm loathe to ask them to mix up the colour for me... unless anyone can assure me they're actually good at matching the paint colour!!

mgr-service.com is the only other place I've found so far and I'm not sure how much they charge for postage or how on earth you place an order.. presumably I'll have to ring them to ask about orders as there's no information on the website.

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers :)

Because all but the very smallest item is sent by UPS.

MGR-service.com is no longer in business.

Royal Mail will not accept most paints and solvents for posting.

(Although they probably do without knowing.)
So any reputable company will despatch by carrier.

Ah okay that explains it.. still over priced in my opinion though!
I've ordered from http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/ now thank you! Found this site yesterday.
£4.30 for postage so much more reasonable.. half the price of Rimmer Bros. Hopefully the paint matches! :)

Thanks for the advice :)
