Any paint experts about? I could use your help if I may.
I'm looking for a paint colour called BS4800 10 B 15. It translates as Glace, Creamy White , or Ivory depending on where you look online. How does this translate into say, Halfords paint line for cars? For example, I read that Fiat do a colour that corresponds to BS4800 10-B-15, but I don't know what Halfords or Fiat call it because they reference paint colours from VIN numbers and the like. I just need one rattle can to touch up, so expensive solutions like going to a specialist paint company are out. I don't even mind if the paint is a couple of shades out.

I haven't tried them yet but I was aiming here when I ordered something. They claim to do everything.

Thanks for the information, but that site seems to need a car registration number to get a paint colour. I don't have one.

The colour I need isn't on a car, it's on a 1990 Swift Corvette Diamond.

The colour I need is variously quoted as Creamy White, Ivory, Orchid White, Gardenia White and Off White.
If anyone has a car decribed as having one of these colours, I'd be grateful if they could supply the paint code for it. Thanks.

Have you considered a trip to a paint repair place, with a case of beer?
