If you get the colour code as a RAL number you can get enamel paint . I have painted the underside & inside with it & it looks great. Can be sprayed,roller,or brush.I etch primed, stone chipped then enameled.

What colour are you after? I just bought a tin of green rustoleum for the underside of mine, my car is British racing green, and the paint is a RAL code 6005. It is a pretty close match, Certainly close enough for the underside.

If you Google HTS .you will find the company holmwood tractor services . As long as you give them the RAL number they should be able to help you

Jawel do a synthetic enamel and I have rollered the underside of a car before and it has come out very well. Any solid colour can be mixed, if metallic then your options are limited as it needs spraying so if this is the case I would use the nearest solid colour to match.
