If its the same type of paint I got with a motorbike from Marks and Spencers then I wouldn't use them. There terrible!

Surely Halfords or similar would be the best place for accurate 'Scooby-Doo-Blue'? 
Just a thought, all the best

| I'll see what the paints are like. They are normally not too bad with a good stir. |

If you do go the Halfords route, the paint is New Mica Blue, Subaru Code 74F. They will mix to order, aprox £10. One spray can (300ml) will do aprox 3 x 1:24 cars
