Ali, do you want to match the original paint to do a spot repair or a blend or are you doing a complete repaint to the original factory colour?

I am doing a little spot repairs and just want to match the original as much as possible.
I have the numbers so may be a local paint warehouse would be able to mix it.
Seen it in US for sale, but trying locally.
Thank you all.

If its spot repairs i'd have the colour of your car scanned and mixed up rather than the factory colour.

I took a part of the car that had the colour on it and had them match it and made into rattle cans

Sorry about the late response Ali, but the guys are right, for a spot repair get it scanned with the spectro and mixed to order.
The paint will have faded with time and you can guarantee that if you mixed the original colour to the code it will be a bus ride away!

I got my paint mixed at Jawel Paints, they had the number and mixed it up in aerosol as well as in tin.
Looks a good match.
