Halfrauds will mix the paint for you. £10 for a 300ml rattle can. All you need is the paint code off your vin plate. It's most likely 406 light silver.

jewell paints,bancrofts or any trade paint supply place will make you up an aerosol can to either paint code or colour chips and they are alot better match than halfrauds remember to flat the base coat with 1800 wet and dry in a soapy mixture before applying the laquer or the laquer will peel after the first stone chip, after laquer has hardened flat down again with wet and dry and polish with cutting compound then polish

If your spraying Metalic with Rattle Can's you'll be using the can'ed Cellulose Lacquer that is complete toss... Might be worth spending a few extra £'s to get it done properly.

Not true, if you havent let the base coat go off completely you can paint straight on to it.. You only need to re-key if you've baked or let it air dry.
