Pic is of my recently aquired Renault 4 Sevane. Its been repainted. Former owner is not the most helpful.
I know this is a real ask but is it possible to get a rattle can of matching paint.
The only ref. I have is Beige Alpaga reference 109

How about these?


 
Valid tips above-also if you have a paint/laquer-specialist nearby they will be able to mix the colour by the code for you.That way you can have it a rattle-can. Beware the fact that old(er) paint will have gone (usually)lighter due to time/sun/UV and the fact that older paint did'nt have the Shine/Gloss as newer paint have
-Personly I Love that old "fatty"shine over the Sha-Bang GLITZ of new...
 
Hi. Re paint. The spec will give you the colour of the original paint in the showroom. However your car has been in the sun for years and will have faded. There are paint suppliers here, and I expect also in France, that have a device which they can present to an existing area of paint and read the current colour from that and prepare a spec for that faded colour, reproduce it in a can, and you then can repaint a section which will match as closely as possible the surrounding aged sun faded paint. That is exactly what I have done.
I have used Turners Trade Paint in Cannock, UK. There must be companies in France with the same facility.
 
Der Franzose supply rattle cans I got some for my Shetland vert, savane and not a bad match
