any decent paint shop supplier should be able to make you up a tin using your code. youll probably have the best contacts already if your in the trade.
if its a smallish area your doing the little cans are good enough. i used half a dozen cans from bmw to do my front wing and 1 can on each wing mirror. gave a really good finish.

So you can actually buy spray paint cans from BMW in the original paint?

What about lacquer?

sorry to go off-topic.

I aint no expert, but i would ask him for 3 Tins (150mml Twin Packs)
The better the undercoat finish is the better the final coat will be, and you will use less top coat then.
