Don't know for sure, but genuine Vx paint is £4.19 + vat per can so I wouldn't risk it personally.

whatever paint you use , base is very important , you need to sand the surface at least with 1200-1500 grid .. otherwise within short time it will drop in flakes..

I think they are the same. My Opel is Galcier white and I usually buy my paint from Vauxhall when I'm in the UK.

I have only used metalic paint in the past and the true colour didn't show till i sprayed lacquer after a couple of weeks after a very light rub down . :)
