Half way down the page. Codes are on the right. Any auto paint supplier should be able to look up through one of them.

A majority of paint shops have moved away from the original solvent based paint products and now apply waterbourne product exclusively. Not all colours have made the formulation transition to the new product. My experience with that was having to colour match a swatch of Spring Green (solvent based) and create the mix required in waterbourne product. The result speaks for itself!

Alternately here in Canada and I suspect Sweden as well. A paint shop will have a tool to match the existing paint and create a new recipe.

D any of the paint shops in your immediate area offer the service?

You could email paint supply houses, such as ExpressPaint.com

i have ordered paint from them before and always a perfect match.

they have GM 59 listed as aztec gold poly.

they wont ship large volumes internationally but you may be able to purchase the formla from them , its worth a try as its only a email away.

Have never sprayed anything other than solvent based,even a 2012 Kia colour in solvent base. My Canso was no problem to mix in a solvent base coat? Maybe a BC thing or production shops have to meet standards?

I buy my paint in the US to avoid water based issues. This is especially important if you plan to own the car for many years.
