Assuming that you are in UK, David, I recommend that you go to Halfords with
your 4Ti, and ask them to look through the Rover metallics to match the
shade, and the BMW metallics to match the metallic chip size.  My
recollection is that Rover has (had) a good match for the colour, but the
"grain" was too coarse, but BMW metallics are much finer - they just need to
use the "wrong" metallic additive for the Rover paint.  The automotice
paints are intended to have a lacquer finish, which would give a high-gloss
transparent coat - I think it's unnecessary, but you may feel otherwise.

Of course, since the Rovers in question were Honda designs, there may be
truth in any such urban myth.

Leaving the debate on whether to touch up paintwork or leave to one side,
can anyone advise the correct paint?
Is it an urban myth that it is a Honda auto colour?

Thanks

Dave
