I need to get some paint mixed up and have been given the colour codes from the manufacturer but i cant find these colours any where online. Any ideas how i can get these mixed?

YS-9429A - metallic blue
HM17-008 - orange

No they are not car paints. These are for my Giant mtb. I think they are maybe Chinese standards.

I have emailed Giant about the codes/standards as i know their bikes aren't painted in Europe. I only need a small amount of the blue for touch up purposes.

mtb = mountain bike

Giant customer service couldn't give me anymore details other than the codes and a good paint retailer should be able to mix it up.

Is this vehicle paint? If so get in touch with a paint supplier in your area.

Google “car paint suppliers” “Bodyshop suppliers beds” etc.

If you want to let me know what town you’re in I might know of one nearby as I work in the industry

That colour is matt and the one i'm after is metallic and gloss.

I have emailed several car paint suppliers and they cant find the codes in their database. I have emailed https://www.y-s-paint.com.tw/ as they have a catalogue of YS codes and mention they supply paint for bikes.

Failing that i may have to take the bike locally and get it colour matched.
