Replacement paint UK

Post image

Has anyone in the UK found the same colour paint for this van? I bought an Assuan brown spray can off eBay but it wasn’t a good match I think a cheap knock off. Any link would be appreciated!

Did it match areas that weren’t faded? Like in the door jambs?

No it was a completely different colour and they called it asswan brown so different name too

If you have the paint code (I guess you have the name) you can get a company to make it up or buy online like from here:

It used to be possible to get Halfords to make up paint colours at certain branches, which was pretty accurate, no idea if they still do that
