there are many automotive paint specialists about if you have the colour code i'm sure you could get it mixed somewhere. Try these people they have matched paint for me before...http://www.autopaintsupplies.co.uk/

Yea, I can recomend RS paints too, if you ring 'em the german lady that normally answers is real helpful.

They supplied some paint, including the correct base colour, for my candy green '73 GT 250 K.

It aint cheap but it's worth it.

Hi Mark,
New to this forum today - you could try Marcus Davies at www.retro-paint.co.uk - he has done lots of Kettles, all colours, sounds like a good bloke - hope so, he has my GT750A tank/panels to match it up to a flake orange #2 NOS panel I bought from a guy in Germany !
Cheers,
Mike

As gb2stroke says, check out RS paints, drop them an email, http://www.motorbikepaint.co.uk/ pay by card, they'll mail it to ya, job done.

Or go on the VJMC website in the USA and look for colour suppliers over there.
