What color is your car, as some members may be able to give you the third party vendor codes for your car.

I bought a kit from Halfords, £20. Haven't tried it yet so can't comment on results but it comes with 3 parts- paint, lacquer and primer. Reviews said it was good.

Vauxhall code for rabiata is 2NU
(they usually have a translation code guide near the spraycans for third party paint codes)
