Doing alittle touch up to rusty body work and can't find any matching paint.
My car is a 900 T16 '87 and not sure what the saab name for the paint is but
it's a graphite grey or slug colour if you prefer.
I live in Manchester UK and just need a spray can as have no compressor or
spray gun.
Just if anyone knows of a supplier that is local ish.
Thanks in advance

There is (or should be) a color code on a badge on a cross member in the
boot floor.

Metallic? - Odoardo grey?

The cross member has a code for the bodywork of B204 if that makes any
sense. the colour looks like the convertible on the saab.net site from your
link.
hope this makes it clearer.

Saab official sellers should be able to provide you the painting kit you are
requesting.

If you get the paint code from the body shell, a good paint factor can
usually mix up paint to match the colour quite well, and also suggest
laquer and primer colours to use. If you need to, ask a local body shop,
who the local paint factor is. The is a place on Winwick road
Warrington, but I can't for the life of me remember their name, but it
might be P&M body panels (actually, just found them P & M Auto Panels
Winwick Rd, Warrington, Cheshire WA2 7PA Tel: 01925 415661 ).

Also, they can supply rattle cans, instead of paint for a gun in most
places. They used Max Meyer professional paints.

The cans are pretty good too, usually featuring a rotatable fan tip, so
you get the right direction of fan when spray down or accross the panel.
