To settle an argument, which Shade of Blue looks the best on a Z3 (cue response from @pgunter

At the moment my cars current shade of blue is marred by a nasty scuff. Im going to be looking to sand it down, prime it and spray on some montreal blue. Can anyone point me in the direction of a trusted brand with good colour matching?

I've used Aerosol cans mixed at Halfords to great effect in the past. Also, I have used a local Motor Factors who mix their own cans. Lastly I have just bought these for an upcoming project, not used yet but quality paint and cans.

Alas, no montreal blue with that particular seller. See what ebay trawels up.

I would send a message to that seller before giving up on him.

Just bought a tin of Performance Blue. Let's see what turns up. Just like Estoril Blue, I've seen many shades of Performance Blue.

The eBay seller says to contact him if the colour is not listed.

A bit to pastel like for me but thanks for the suggestion, I also don't think I would use a solid colour
