I have just bought a 1977 Mini 1000 in Teal Blue.

Does anyone know if you can still buy the original spray cans from anywhere or will it be a case of having one mixed from scratch.

Cheers

I don't know about original aerosols, but paints4U.com mixed up an aerosol for my 1978 van that was a perfect match. You can either tell them the paint code, or send a sample of the colour on a piece of card (if you have a sample of course!)

my local auto-discount shop has the ability to mix sprays up to paint codes

they cost about £15, so are quite expensive, but handy if your only wanting to paint a small area

ive also always found the range of paint sprays that halfords sell to be very good, both from a colour match and a finish
