to save me flippin hough the colour charts at the paint shop would just be easier to go ask for half litre of etc etc

 

I think classics are 53 Saffron Yellow

 

is that a car colour ?

 

It might be code 58, though whether it means anything to anyone is another matter!
There were more paint colour details on this other thread I found:

If you can find any, please post a reply on here. I tried Halfords as was suggested and there was nothing similar code or colour wise (I need some for my kerbed STi8 alloy).

 

Try one of those gold permanent marker pens if its not too bad. The ones you have to shake up to get to work. They are a good quick fix and match quite well if its not too major.
