Lago should be easier to match up than most others like reds as they fade hellishly and are nigh on impossible to get right, you may be lucky.
There are also aerosol cans you can have mixed to your own spec now, so its doable without a spray gun- gotta bonnet to do shortly, it defeated coxy...lol :P and i already have the colour mixed and put in an aerosol to do it even though i have the paint gun.
Cost me 150 quid to have a front bumper done in Super Red about 4 years ago so probably more now..... expensive.

£150 for bumper? humm..
my friend has a spray gun, dunno how good he is at using it, do i have to go somewhere special to get paint suitable for use with a spray gun, or just any paint factors will do?
And how much of it will I need to cover a typ-85 bonnet , bumper & wing do u think?
Also, any idea on the cost of that much paint?
cheers for your help so far
Gaz.
