I ended up getting the paint I needed made up at paint west in Osborne Park.
Used a bonnet hinge as a sample as it was engine bay I was painting so no code to go off. Match was spot on. Cost $59 for a litre of a solid blue acrylic.

did you get primer and clear as well man?

Already had primer and thinners at home. No need for clear with solid colours.

hey guys, i have a few lil skratches on my car that need touching up, i have a 2004 silver/pearl wrx, panel beater guy seems to think its a very hard colour to match.. are u guying saying i can go to auto 1 and just get them to put the right color for me in a spray can??

ill keep you posted, picking mine up tomoz so ill see how close the colour is.

ok cheers mate, appreciate that

No way I would be going anywhere near my car with a spray can unless it was for a small insignificant area, ie a lip or skirt etc. Silvers can be a bitch to match at the best of times and the right colour can still look wrong depending on the way it is sprayed. Also any metallic paint is going to need to be followed with clear coat.
If your car is a bunky then go for it but if you havent played with paint much before, I personally would not go near your car.

if that is aimed at me:

around $25 for a spray can. took two cans to spray a rear spoiler.
