Hi David, most car paint suppliers (that supply the trade) knock up and sell aerosols in the colours of your choice. Be careful with Island blue as there was a few versions. Rover made an Island Blue which they used on the 40LE Minis. It is an entirely differnet shade than the 60's BMC Island Blue. Good luck. Mark

I got some aerosol Island Blue BU8 and Old English White WT3 from here:

I was advised that these were listed as BU08 and WT03, with added zeros.

Just something to bear in mind if they can't find the code...

Halfords can knock it up for you aswell in Nitro Cellous Acrylic paint as long you get a lad who knows what there doing mixing it can be done :)

I work at Halfords and get a few people in with Odd requests or just give be an old panel and tell me to match it I get it near spot on, ovbs with paint down to Prep and finish.
