Some of them will mix an aerosol while you wait. They should be able to 'look up' your car colour in their books. Have a look on Ebay .. scroll down until you see 'mixed to match your car's paint code' https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_...ar+paint+mix.TRS0&_nkw=car+paint+mix&_sacat=0 This post contains affiliate links which may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

The metallic red you get in a 500L is opera red, amore red is £1000 worth or tri coat paint on a 500x Last edited: Jun 13, 2017

simon_16vpunto Patron member Parked in the garage Joined May 15, 2006 Messages 937 Points 331 Jun 14, 2017 #14 Code Vr926a is opera red with a white roof- I'm assuming you have a white roof and door mirrors? Your car is 100% opera red. Then Bi colour paint jobs get a different paint code to confuse things. If it was all one colour it would show the paint code for opera red vr108b.
