Porsche paint in a spray can?

[Ekona]

I need to get hold of some paint in a Porsche colour (Peridot Green) for a project I'm working on, but if I'm honest I'm a bit stumped as to where to go for it. It doesn't need to be a 100% identical match as it's going on something not yet painted anyway, and I don't need something supplied by Porsche at the cost of £££. There's a ton of random places on the internet that can send you spray cans in a colour you specify but I have no idea if they're any good or not, does anyone have any recommendations on where to go?

Not looking to bust the bank on this one, and I reckon I'll only need two cans. Appreciate any ideas you folks have.

Hi Dan, I think you need to find a local paint guy and ask how many "shades" of the colour were made under the Porsche paint code? I've just had some minor cosmetics done on my 996 & the paint guy said there was only 1 colour for the code whereas a friend with a Seal Grey car whose also having some minor work done has found there are 4 shades!?

I've used a couple of random internet paint on a cab companies and both were fine.

Ah good point Chris, hadn't actually considered the shade thing. Hopefully as there's nothing to directly compare it to then it won't matter if it's not a bang-on match with the colour on a particular car, but something I'd not thought of.

Good to know, can you remember the name of either of them out of curiosity?

I recently used a company called brighton auto paints,

Colour wasn't spot on as I only ordered it off the net using the paint codes but the paint itself went on reasonably well which was a pleasant surprise after previous attempts with spay cans.
