Hi Is there not an auto panels shop in the area where you can take the paint code to so they can make it up for you.Another place is Halfords,but you will get some people on here saying no but I got my paint there and it was ok. As it is only for your mirrors and spoiler it might be worth trying.

Thanks for that Yes got both. I know what the colour is called in German and the man at the stellers was happy to get the cans in for me. How do I find out what the colour code is, in order for me to get it from an auto factors or halhords. regards chris.

Body shops will tell you that you cant get a good colour match out of a spray can.
