Also what you're saying about paint being left for too long at stockists is a good point robo. I'd like to go with one of the darker blues and was planning on using one that saturn have listed as in stock normally (http://www.saturnsportscars.co.uk/ral.php). Something like Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, or Night Blue. One thing I've noticed is when comparing saturn's color chart to say an acrylic spray paint chart, they look completely different shades in some cases! Any idea which one of these would be better to go for from a matching standpoint and also from the point robo mentioned around paint for sitting around for too long?

Link doesn't work, this one should:

The only thing on a computer is that all colours look different and you really need a proper colour chart to choose your correct shade. The RAL system is a European standardized colour system so should be matched wherever you get your paints or gels from.

Have done a couple of sets in Cobalt Blue and does look nice, favourite of the blues.
