Who does good match colour?
Any ideas as the company I used before is no longer.
Looking at Malachite Green 205 in particular, some have been good other too metallic etc etc.

Paints4you I think is the company name on line. I got a few cans to do my front valance and they were a very good match. Also pretty cheap from what I remember.

paints4u.com , decent, also do all sorts of touch products, the tins of ready mixed touch up paint are super for chips and marks in door shuts and edges of trunk lid,bonnet, etc etc

Another for Paints4u, even cheaper buying 2 cans of same colour, only place I could get satin lacquer (a local paint supplier couldn't even do that)
Had the right colour too for my SAAB's bumper and body kit, very happy with them.

I would also hit up paints4u Sanchez, had a number of cans off them for the blue car, pretty good paint match, and nice paint to work with. They also sell the Plastikote gun that turns your rattlecan into 'spraygun' these are pretty handy too, as they stop sore/painted fingers

The gun attachment thingy is a very good idea, gives much better control, even more so the longer you use as Jonas says it eases the effect it has on your fingers trying to hold the head down.
You may be lucky where you are as was I when I found one of these spray can attachments at one of the many 99p/£ shops in town
