heres a little tip ive got for you!!
im a student studying mechanics and you can apply for a trade card at halfrauds which gets you a different amount of most parts, tools and paint!!
i just took my certificates proving i was a qualified mechanic! but my mate went and he claimed he worked for a vauxhalls garage near to me and they gave him one!!

maybe worth a try if you shop alot a halfrauds!!

you need proof of being in the trade i.e a pay slip, unless you get someone who is not doing there job properly

Correctomundo

edit to say: I'm not in the motor trade, doing an engineering apprenticeship at a well known pump manufacturer. Took a pay slip and told them I worked for the on site garage and got one no problem.

You can get discount on paint trust me, I have a trade card and buy loads of paint there all the time and I save about 30p a can.

FFS, I spend so much in Halfords, I thought you could only get one if you're in the trade, I may ask next time.
