Paint codes?

Hi all,

My colour code on my 95 wrx is 406, but went to halfrauds to get a tin mixed and they said they can't find it all the codes they have was number,letter,number!

Any ideas?

Cheers

Maybe because it's an import. Think number letter number is a uk colour code. Try a decent paint supplier they will have it.

That's because Halfrauds are crap imo.
A decent paint supplier would be able to look up any colour code and get a formula (and mix it) for you.
