Has anyone heard of this at all? Just wondering seems like all it takes is mixing certain amounts of paint to make my color. How can they not be able to reproduce it? :help: :shrug:
The only way I can see this being correct is that the combination of colours needed to make your colour are European only (I take it's a VW or other European car companys colour) but I would of thought PPG or ICI would be able to sort this for you, when I used to paint if we had a US or Austrailian car in we would have to contact the paint manufacture for a paint formulation.

Maybe try some of the paint companies web sites?
