    Any decent automotive paint supplier will mix paint to spec e.g. RAL colour reference. Try searching candy apple green
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Try Triumph (Motorcycles) Roulette Green, or get a code and get it mixed, gorgeous colour..

    How about the Ford Focus RS green. I like that. Also like the orange and even thought about respraying the motorbike that colour (oops, wrong forum).

    the RS green is perfect, just could not find any RAL for it
    Guess a ford dealer could supply it though

    If you can get the Ford paint code, there are some automotive shops that can mix up an aerosol to match - certainly enough to do a frame. I resprayed my car bumper - it was £20 for the aerosol paint whereas the resprayer wanted to charge £100 - perfect match.

    From here, the paint colour is called Ultimate Green and paint code 9GSE. Googling Ford Ultimate Green gets me to images of the green Focus.

    Amazon has touch up bottles with a slightly different code of 9GFE5ZA
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Thread hi-jack warning.

    I have a 5 year old Commencal MTB (full sus) which I bought from a friend last summer. Mechanically it is sound but the white paint is discoloured and the chipped.

    I would dearly love to make it "mine" with a new paint scheme and the Focus Green would be ideal (apologies to the OP for copying).

    Any idea how much a complete respray would cost?
