Open up your bonnet, wher the details of your car is, ther should be a colour code, write down the code, and speak to a bodyshop about the colour, otherwise, take it to a bodyshop, and they will have strips of colours on a cardboard thingy (cant think of the name of the thingy!), they will get the closest match possible.
Hope this helps!

this has reminded me i need to touch up my tailgate, slight rust bubles under the number plate........so can't b arsed with the bodyshop stuff just gonna get a can from halfords but can't remeber what the paints name is, its a red mk1 sr.........think it might b vauxhall flame red......any1 know for sure??

dave could be flame red or carmine red - mines carmine red.

Hayzsr - body shop yer best bet - then when you know trip doen to halfords and get yerself 5 cans - better still pop into a motorworld or other motor somponents shop coz the car plan big 500ml cans are better than the halfords ones - cheaper too for the volume!

Remember to prep the bonnet too with 400 then 800 wet n dry (wet). When dry, thoroughly degrase using thinners and then spray aftermasking off stuff.

When i was having my room done we used about40 cans of a art spray called montana from spain and this was fine, we used 1 can of carplan and had to evacuate the house.
