Neon Blue I think the design is called?
Dealer will be able to get it or go to a auto paint suppliers with your petrol flap and they will match some up and put it in a can.

Halfords do it mate... I had 2 rattle cans made up from them about 2 month ago for free... The lad just said no charge... Lucky me... Perfect match too.

Yeah, that was the price he said and I was like... 'Thats a bit expensive', he followed with, 'i'll sort you out pal'... At the end of mixing it up, he said, 'That gonna be enough'... Obivously not. :D Did the whole bonnet with it, just need to rub it down and laquer it, but that was 2 month ago. lol
