Default Paint for an import...where can I get it from?

As it says above, where can you buy aerosols of paint for import imprezas? I have a '96 wrx paint code 406 (silver). The UK cars look to use different colours from imports so I'm assuming that I can't just pick the paint up in a local motor factors.

Thanks in advance,

Doug

Try Halfords, they do a mixing service with aerosols. I think they cost about a tenner

My local motor factors mix paint from the code number. The match is absolutely perfect.

Halfords matched my paint code for a 95 import.

406 silver is a UK colour too

Most motor factors can get it in an aerosol or try a local paint suppliers. Look in the yellow pages
