don't expect any paint to match unless it is mixed by someone who really knows
how to color match. it is hard for a puter to compensate for 21 years of sunlight.

Im chasing only 1lt.what are the chances of getting hold of 5 or 6 touch up cans from a suzuki dealer, I have the colour code from the comp plate.or have I missed the boat..just asking before I ring around ,anyone else had luck matching old paint from a spray can. thanks |

Your best bet would be a paint supplies place. They will mix whatever you want. Paint codes might help. The one went to mixed off a code as a starting point then tinted accordingly to match the age/fade of the paint. Basically done it by eye. Got it pretty close also |

best to go to a automotive paint shop and give them the code, they are very accurate as they go by weight, pretty sure they could make the colour you need as long as u got codes. it will be good to get a bit more then you need incase u need to touch some thing up later on |

going to a paint shop and doing it urself is a way cheaper option, the spray people charge you a bucket full |

A lot of paint suppliers have a device callled a spectro, it actually scans the paint and gets the closest colour available. its pretty accurate so thats the way i'd head, failing that any decent colour matcher will get it close. |
