Why not just get the paint from a local paint supplier?

Dunno what year they changed it but the paint on my old RAC Escort van (Y reg) was definately signal orange, unless my paint supplier mucked up :lol:

If you cant find what you need just run it up to anywhere that mixes paint and they will match a chip to the paint and give you the code :wink:
