	Whilst dreaming of the day I get to put some paint on my project i got to thinking about the colour scheme. I have a rough idea of colour but no idea of manufacturer or where to find the paint code. Or indeed if it'll end up that colour at all, or if paint will even be a thing by the time it needs it Are there any online colour charts or resources?

	Trouble is on a screen they often look completely different to on the car, most paint factors have a test chips for most manufacturers which are better, another option is to find the colour you like on a car and trace that, if you can narrow it down to a manufacturer and year it's normally a fairly easy to identify. If it's a solid colour you are after you can also buy RAL colour charts which give you a fairly wide choice.
