Hi I'm wondering how to find out the paint colour of my van, it's an FB colour but not the factory colour for this vehicle and the previous owner is Bi-Polar and a bastard to deal with.

it's a blue/grey colour, i'm having trouble posting pics but will try to add one when i sort it out.

Its a straight colour isnt it ? There must be a decent paint shop up your way who can either eye match or use one of those fancy machines to match it.
Where are you ???

Theres a place over here that eye matches , when I had to touch up the paint on my Harley I took a piece in and he matched it perfectly - is the glovebox door body colour ?

yes it is, how do you find a place that does it? i guess the spraypainter should know this.
