Does anyone know if there exists a Paint formula (2 pac C.O.B) for "Sugar Cane" paint code - 10874?

May have to get whats left of the colour analyzed.

Thanks!

Go into any good auto paint store and they can usually check on there computers/books The paint supplier I use has been able to get paint colours ie, quoba tan (early morris colour) that was never listed by the factory in any manual. He obtained the mix ratios from adelaide.

Sugar Cane 526-10874

Tint Setting
19206 299
00740 433
05440 474
00744 500

Acording to the Dulux paint code book I have. (Would probably pay to get a sample made up first to check).

Remember though that colours vary, even in cars painted in the same factory by the same people. We covered this in reasonable detail in Issue 8 of The Mini Experience.

If there is some part of your car with the original colour, that has not faded (like under the rear seat) then having that matched exactly is probably the most accurate way to get it correct. If it then looks slightly different from someone elses car, suposedly of the same colour, that doesn't matter, as it is the correct colour for your car.

Cheers,
Watto.

Thanks guys , all good advise. Like Watto mentioned with the variations within the same colour I will probably end up getting the paint shop to use their spectro analyser.
Thanks for your input!

Cheers.
