I need a few bits of kit painting but I cant seem to find anywhere that has the right paint.

I believe my 1995 WRX import is paint code 230 FEATHER WHITE but all I seemt o beable to get hold of is PURE WHITE which seems a bit light, is this true ?

How do all you white classics get your paint ?
yours desperatley

230 is called "Feather White" but when you ask for this, the new paint does look much brighter - especially under fluorescent light, but in natural light the difference is not so bad.

Here is a few picture of the rear bumper from a 1995 Type RA, the bumper was painted in 230 in 2007, but did look much brighter when refitted. The difference in the two shades have "toned down" after 18 months.

had the same problem, but yeah, with a little weather on it the difference (very slight anyway) is soon lost!!
