I bought my paint from there. Was quite expensive as the colour had to be mixed, but no one else has the yellow for my car.

On the missus 'Whitewave' ride i used plastic primer and painted all the skirts including the strips and went with the silver and a few coats of clear and thing looks the bomb... over all, no black to be seen .

I went to Protec in Welshpool for all the primers, clear and 1ltr 2pk silver cost 140bux...worthwhile mod

Define EXPENSIVE. There is a place in osborne park that will make
an exact match (using colour code from engine bay) in a spray-pack
for $27. Not a bad price considering you just give them the code
with no stuffing around.

I havnt put my side ones on my car as of yet, but the rears are on there.
Hopefully this image will give everyone an idea of the outcome you can achieve.
Feel free to PM me if u want to find out more!
