Islabikes used to sell it but they don't now :( Does anyone have any they don't need any more?

If you go to Halfords stores that do paint mixing, you can ask them to mix to the pantone shade. Apparently this is currently:
Current Islabikes colours:
Orangey Red – 1788C
Lime Green – 368C
Dark Pink – 226C
Teal – 3145C
Previously available Islabikes colours:
“Pillar Box” Red – 185C
Blue – Process Blue C
Mango - 151C
Purple – 254

Thank you so much! We have 3 red ones so that is tremendously helpful - I had seen that Halfords do paint mixing but was at a loss what to ask them to mix!

Hi guys,

I tried to contact halfords for the paints and alas they dont do mixing onsite anymore and need to order it in.. Alas the paint I need is "Process Blue C" but they say they need a "code" ?

Any ideas or alternative places I can try?

Had the same problem, no car body shop can match paint with their spectrum analysis as they need 2” flat surface. In the end I used:

P498-19-0010 RED Air Dry Aerosol 400ml from PPG Refinish Ltd. £15.

It was a very good match for the red.
