How much paint are you after?

If you're just after touch-up or 300ml spraycans, Autobarn is probably the easiest. Give spare parts your paint code and they can mix it. The match was surprisingly good for my car :thumbsup:

the oem touch up paints are approx $20 and come in a lil thing like nail polish with a brush so its only suitable for stone chips and small scrapes

for anything else you will need to take the paint code somewhere and get em to make it up

go to any automotive paint store
and tell them the code or take of the fuel cap thing and they can match it
from memory it costs around $50-100 a litre pending on which colour

go to the local auto paint shop and give them the colour code, should locate on the passenger side door.... they should be able to match the colour and tell them to put it in the spray can for you....

they charged me $20 for a can similar to the size of those tuna cans.

I gave them my paint code for them to mix since they didn't have any matching off-the-shelf ones.
The paint isn't a perfect match (I'm using it for touch-up), it seems a little shinier. Don't even know if it is possible for a perfectly matched colour though, anyone know if applying a clear coat over it would match it better?
A panel beater also told me that the paint on any car would fade over time (like the red colours) so even if you matched the code it won't be the same.
