Halfords do mix paint, it's a lot more expensive than the ready-mixed stuff though :( almost twice the price last time I bought some.

There are loads of different shades of white available, so it's probably worth looking round to see if anything more modern is a similar shade. At least then you can save money by buying cheaper ready-mixed paint for the less visible bits! Is that colour not used on other Volvos? I've seen 200s, 700s and newer stuff in white, but it might not be the same white...

Paint code is on the VIN plate, and any paint shop will do you flat or mettalic.

Not sure what side of London you are AMR, but I used a really good shop next to Pilings dealers in Hemel, used to cost me 8 quid a 500ml can, and always a good match. I ordered a bottle from Hellfrauds today, see what match that is like, was £8, didn't tell me the size though.

EDIT: Just seen you are south, so the above is less than useful!
