Got a second set of alloys but one had some damage. Fixed it up quick nicely but can't get paint to match the silver sparkle that the other 3 now have. I quite like the greyer look but don'r want to have to spray the other 3.
Any idea where I can get the right paint from?

Is it just themixed at Halfords in a spray can. Paint code is MNH followed by 3 numbers?
They would probably have all this detail in store as thats were I would be heading

Colour is Sparkle Silver. Halfords mixed the paint with only the 3 letter code. They put the code into there computer and this came up as Land Rover Sparkle Silver. Paint was a perfect match on my 20" Stormers JRC

Went into my local Halfords but no joy. Told that they couldn't do it even though I said others had done it.
Not sure what to do next?

I have had two spray cans mixed over the last two years at Halfords in Edinburgh without any problems. They have obviously change what they can mix or are just be awkward.
Any automotive paint shop should be able to mix based on the code.
Hope you have luck in getting some JRC
