Is there somewhere in Newcastle that can analise the existing colour (Its on the nose cone of my car) and provide some touch up pait?

I think Halfords reputation for mixing the right shade of paint is a bit st, though it might be the only reasonable option. Try a search and something will probably come up about people who have used it in the past.

I'm interested to know if anyone close to Newcastle offers this paint matching service.

Halford (suprisingly) couldn't find the colour for my Yank Muscle and said they do NOT offer a service to get the colour from thye vehicle itself.

Halfords can only mix coulours if you have the vehicle colour code. They can not mix from Pantone codes

I am sure there used to be a place on the gateshead side of the quayside but then that was over 20 years ago

Peter

try any of the automotive paint suppliers, they should be able to match it , the place I buy my paints from have colour charts to get a close match then will tint it to get it right.
