I think its on the inside of the door or maybe the metal plate under the bonnet not sure. Not sure if mine is original colour either but have a look in my garage see if its same as yours and i will check the paint code on mine tonight (if i can find it) ;)

Any decent paint supplier should be able to match the colour almost exactly. I've been over an hour getting 1/2 ltr of 2K due to the guy matching the paint by eye letting samples dry a little to darken before seeing whats needed to get it spot on.

This might sound harsh but if can scrap a little paint off door frame or from some unseen corner, some B and Q have a machine which can detect the colour and auto mix it for you.

 

BUT PLEASE check at B and Q before scratching your car :)

 

lol. I need it for the car fella not my bedroom;) only messing cheers for the tip

 

I'll have a look for the code tomorrow in the light where Rovervi suggested.

 

Thanks for all the advice lad's much appreciated
