Halfords Used To Do A Very Good Line In Older Car Paints
If Not Get The Original Paint Code From Vauxhall
They Should Still Be Able To Tell You Where To Find It
If Its Still Original You Can Have Some Mixed By Brown Brothers Or Partco /unipart

Excellent choice, I had a Mk1 Sportshatch as my second car (a while back now!) and still have a Manta which is very similar to a Mk 1 Cavalier.

The paint code should be on the metal tag rivetted to the bonnet slam panel.

If not, ask around on the Manta Owners Club forum Click Someone there will know the code for this colour.

If no luck, let me know, I think a friend still has some old paint code books that might reveal the code.
