    My Dulux store scans paint samples and makes it form there...same for crash repair shops.

    I have updated the colour page with my latest attempt at colour matching:

    https://motofaction.org/tool-reviews...olour-matches/

    I think it looks reasonably good on the older vices - I'd take it over the Indian Red, but YMMV. It looks closer to the colour that I find on the older vices than the current darker maroon.
