Any ideas :-\

I know we scorn Halfrauds, but...
I bought their 3 pen kit Nocturno blue, and its pretty good for match. May just have been lucky :y

If you like it - buy it ::)

I achieved 'Nearly Nocturno Blue' by mixing Black and Royal Blue smooth Hammerite. :)

touch up pens will never have an exact match even with a same formula as the metallics inside cant spread uniformly and the layer will be thicker than a usual 1.3 micron spray.. but that aside, I cant say firms are serious to match the same color..
but you can also visit a paintshop to prepare the color for the same code or buy the repair kit as it is :-\

if you have paint mixing shops in the vicinity, a 80-100 gr mix will be similiar price and will be a better match as they can prepare near the car :y

Who knows, matey....I expect every batch will be different, no matter what you use (from someone who has been in the paint game since 1964) :y

Loks like I am another one to say, Vauxhall Nocturno is not good, mine was too dark. I also had better results from Halfrauds.
