Even better than RS would be a trip to a good local paint factor - they can mix up some paint for you to an exact match to whatever you put in front of them. This then takes into account any fading or other colour changes that may have occured since the piece that you want to touch in was painted originally. RS can only supply you a factory colour match unless you take your bike / pieces to them!
I use Express Paints in Portsmouth - they keep adding tiny amounts of colour to a base and dry it under an infra red lamp thing and until the match is spot on. The aerosols that Express Paints supply are considerably easier to use than RS aerosols. While on the subject of aerosols the Pro-XL range of lacquers etc. is astonishingly good and easy to use. I haven't used Halfords products for some years, (so they may have improved) but compared to speaicalist paint factor products they used to be very poor indeed, difficult to apply and ran so easily that any sort of flat surface quickly had more runs than Geoffery Boycott.
is it clean enough?
