Yes. Paint code CEV, and if you get it mixed up by a local company then you'll need a can of clearcoat lacquer too.

I have used both these places before:

What are you after? Cellulose, 2 Pack or just rattle cans?

I've used autopaintsbrighton a few times, they've been good.

Guess you ain't doing it with a spraygun then

Having been a professional finisher previously really not a fan of rattle cans, don't care what people say you can not get the same finish as through a gun.

Guess as its just the spoiler you will get away with it. Recommend using a decent hi-build primer first.

I,ve used a place called JAWEL cost about £10 for a 400 ml can, but may cost more because of the laquar and some other stuff in which is expensive so i,ve been told.

I also used JAWEL to get the paint for the bonnet wing and a few other bits on my car the colour match is brilliant

I would use 2pack Lacquer aswell will set hard and leave a nice finish
dont use halfords lacquer if you can help it. its rubbish!

I agree about Halfords lacquer, it is totally useless, the finish lasts about a week then it either starts peeling or loses its gloss.
