try autopaints in st helens or paints4u (both are online), get a spraycan made up from them with yr paintcode , but if you have no experience at all with smart repairs i say you should just get a paint chip repair kit and use that (if the chip is not massive )

or you can search Ebay for "Paint repair cds" to learn from ...but be prepared to make mistakes as practice makes perfect !!

the smart repair process is not easy to get right the first time you try, plus you'll need to buy all the products that your gonna need. Fwiw it'll work out slightly cheaper and take less time to have a body shop or smart repair tech repair it for you.
