Yes it is Graphite Night Mist, but over here it's SBM,

thanks its just they have no colour samples to compare the colour and if it was mixed and wrong could end up in a problem

I’ve taken the petrol flap into CARS ‘s , mix/match rattle cans to suit. To get the perfect match.

May be you could find a local supplier to do the same.

Having tried to respray a SBM in the past, it's not really even the colour that is the problem. With the colour flip component, you have to spray the paint in the same direction as the original paint was prayed otherwise it won't match.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my SBM but trying to do small area repsrays is virtually impossible to get a "good" match. I got "passable" matches but they were obvious.
I did as others have, I took a body panel to a paint shop and got them to mix it from that reference. It looked great in the pot (I had a compressor etc) but totally different on the car.

That’s interesting paint related info Scooby. The colour is silver blue mist but the info (if you have an sbm) is gold

I get that. The flip was blue, pink, gold on mine.

As you can see mine is a flip to slight pink
But I'm hoping it will make me plenty of Gold when it goes up for sale,
still only got 19991 miles on the clock, that until Castle Howard show in the 19th June

So, you have 6 days, to make Mojo, an offer on a car with less than 20,000 miles
