they should be able to match the colour from swatches, that is what I was told when I had mine re-sprayed

I can see it from here, it's bd green.

My car is painted in bd red.




I had a colour matching camera come round and look at my car. It threw its proverbial hands up in the air and exclaimed "eh, ah dunno"


Alternatively, you can have the body shop play round with whatever of there colour look closest to what you've got: http://www.pistonheads.com/gAssing/topic.asp?h=0&a... .... Worked for me.

Alternatively colour swatches work great.
