I don't know i hope i can get it mixed up!
I think most colours are water based these days. Tomnova16's one year old paint scheme is all water based and he can mix up almost anything.
You just need the code for the colour, then you can fine tune it if there are any slight differences.
Cheers Ed 
Ill find it out  Are mine and your car the same colour btw?

utterly gay mate
had something similar happen to me at the pumps when i had my shit heap rover runabout, woman left her kid on his own in the front, he let the handbrake off an it rolled into my car, really buggered her audi down one side tho
gutted, wud have like to see this colour up close looks nice,
some bodyshops are starting to use a piece of equipment calle "the brick" put it on paintwork an it takes 4 readings and gives u a car paint code that matches best
once if figured out for an red mr2 using a mitsubishi red was a better match-weird but it worked
you should come trax just put a comedy sign on it "why old people shouldnt drive --> " saw one car with a cracked bumper and it just had "wife did it" stuck next to it lol

The powers of the Dodo aren't that strong I'm afraid mate. T-Cut and Fairy Liquid would probably be a better bet

Getting a quote from the guy who sprays my cars at the weekend, ill then ask her if she wants to pay the amount or go through insurance, i reckon the latter.
Everything stands in my favour but its going to be an arse.
Something is really stopping me going to CS shows atm Maybe PVS next year then

If you go through insurance just make sure everything is declared as someone ran into the back of me and they were going to only put it back to standard till I kicked off about the agreed valuation and declared modifications I had.
Gutted for you mate as I know how it feels

Its rather clear cut over blame so you will have the option to either go through your insurance comapny and pay the excess and they claim it back off the other insurers or go through the other parties andconstantly battle over it.
Do you have an agreed valuation as they could potentially write it off can't they if it exceeds what they claim is economical repair compaired to the "market" value of the car?

If it's her insurance paying and she's accepted fault they pay what it costs.
It's got nothing to do with what you have declared on your insurance.
You just take it somewhere, get a quote and that's it.
