Hi just been to order up the most beautiful split colour ever and my paint maker couldnt do it. I also tried two other shops and they too could not match the colour.
two of them had patterns for a 1984 vw collarado bordeaux red but im told this is not the same colour as the split colour.
Someone said i could get away with the 1984 colour, but i know it is not 100% correct, so this is not an option!
Does anybody know where i can get the formula for the paint, or indeed any one local to me (North Essex/ Suffolk) that can match/supply the colour?
Kind Regards
