    Just flippin through some ol' magazines last night and came across a paint colour Im keen on....

    its called - Blue Stratos -

    So question is... how do I find this colour or paint code & the company that makes it...?

    if I walked into a paint place and just said ..'Blue Stratos' would that be any good to them or do I need actual paint codes..?

    thanks for any help...

    Any good paint place will be able to match by name.

    Having the manufacturer and year of that paint will help greatly.

    Just phone a paint shop, you will have to know what Manufacture made it though. Autobarn could even do it. Im on holidays at the moment, if I wasn't i would have a quick look for you.

    Cheers

    thats my dilema.... I dont know the original manufacturer of this colour....

    I think I may just stick to my original paint plan......... (I change my mind all the time.. its the hardest decision)
