Any good paint shop should be able to make one up, as long as you have the paint code.

What code do you have, mine is 184/7, if yours is the sane, don't go to halfords, they don't have the correct code and the colours don't match, I know to my cost!!

Also if it is for a large area you better just get it done properly as the paint will have faided with age thus a pure match is hard to obtain.

Just a thought like.

i agree with you on the halfords part. 2 out of 3 attempts from them got the wrong shade for me.colour restorer and rubbing compound should take care of any fading.

when i was in uk i bought a litre of paint from dealer (with paint code) and took it to a paint supliers, they put it in an aerosol can for me (not an arsehole can!) colour march was perfect, t cut the surrounding paint to do away with faded paint.
