Ok.

My car is BRG, but was originally red. I need to ultimately replace the drivers door as well as touch up where some kids had a go at getting in.

Any how, I don't know which BRG I've got.

Does anyone know of where I can get a paint mixed to match? (I'm in Chester)

depends really, you would need a flat surface sample of paint (side mirror or petrol cover) and normally when they sell "to Sample" they need you to buy at least 2 ltrs of paint (because they match it by eye) if they are good (like the one i go to) they will be able to match it.


Do double check the paint is right, ive seen some people realising when it was too late!


or maybe ur colour was re-sprayed in original and you can get the code from: http://www.minicolou...list.cgi?code=H

To get the same colour just look for a plate with the paint code on it simple!

didnt read his thread then obviously. he does not have the paint code on his car because it was resprayed green.

i would reccommend getting it matched or contact the person who painted it mate and see what clouor they asked for.
