The paint suppliers I use will mix the paint to the formula produced by the scanner and their system does not search the database for the nearest colour unless of course it is an exact match. You understood me!!!! YES. The best source for paint touch up after a car has been sprayed and exposed the elements is a scanner., not the original code. The best, most common sense way, of respraying an entire car is to obtain a catalogue of paint samples (on sample sections) and spend some time with them. Most small automobile paint shops will assist. They do not use every catalogue every day, though these catalogs are costly. Use the samples in both shadow and light. For the expensive pearl effect (we adore them when used subtly), you must walk around the sample in different lighting. Good luck Rog! gmg

Heinz thanks for the heads up on "Indian Red" as it is known in Germany.... I expect you know that term Red Coats was applied to foot soldiers of the British army in the 18th & 19th century and not just to the Guards Regiment, of which there were a few in the British army. [History Fact] It was the Parliamentarian New Model Army who were the first red coats - they bought a job lot of Venetian Red dye for their Regiments of Foot, as it was the cheapest available at the time [/History Fact]

Yeh! and when old ollie had robbed the royalists they decided on the wasp look! as it infers a subconscious fear of being stung. Might explain why all danger equipment, jettison handles etc are all black and yellow stipes!

Some good news. MMC came back to me and confirmed our Plus Six body paint code, it is indeed a Porsche colour... So thank you to MMC.. Just waiting to hear back for the code of the silver used on the Speedster wheels.
