I bought cellulose online about 4 years ago and had it colour matched to a sample I sent by Autopaints Brighton LTD, had excellent service.

Cannot recommend these guys enough, got all of my paint from them for Paddy. Very quick turnaround when ordering.

Ring around the trade paint factors in your area,many still keep a celly scheme on the go....but as sonscar says it might only be available in basecoat as it's a metallic

If its a mini 30 then I think as above its metallic and you will need a polyester base coat and 2k thinners (although its doesn't use the 2k activator so is relatively 'safe'), then you need to laquer it for which cellulose laquer should be readily available.

 

Speak to your local paint factors and they should be able to advise you on what you need based on your equipment and available PPE.
