Hello,
Renault says glacier white is 369 but halfords say 389, how close are they?

Halfords paint match is s**t.

I would agree, I bought two tins for my UR Meg at circa £32 for the pair of 330ml tins (which I thought was stingy anyway) and proceeded to paint my side strip as a tester. The colour was nothing like and I'm colour blind so find it hard to notice shades.

I only done done it off the back of Chip recommending them as his wife works there and praised them. I guess its down to what technician (loose term) mixes the paint, but I won't be going back, I'm glad it wasn't a blend job on a panel I was doing. I'll be taking them back for a refund at the weekend.

I've never had problems with their premixed rattle cans bud, guess it just depends.

Dan@M.A.D does lots of Renault colours, worth a look on his eBay shop.

Renault glacier white is quite difficult too match, as the amount of blue in the mix is critical to the match.

The stuff on the shelf has quite a blue tint to it and I would say this is associated with the new models.

i have a 1990 Renault 5 GT in 389 and halfords had to mix me some 389 up but had to reduce the amount of blue in by 90 percent.

I bought a touch up off eBay, I just shoved in the paint code & ordered it. Not checked it yet though.
