Raleigh Corsa 1983 Paint

firstforward

Retro Newbie
I am restoring my Corsa that I purchased new in April 1994, the colour is Oyster. Can anybody help me to source where I can obtain
the correct paint for this bike. The RAL number is 1013 but this is a still colour, whereas my bike has a fine metallic look as per attached photo.

Raleigh had their own paint codes starting with CF1 which was black (I think) and not RAL. Are you looking for touch up?

I have now found the paint codes for Raleigh, unfortunately its not complete and mine is missing, I have found a reply from Raleigh to a customer in a similar position and basically they do not offer any info and advise going to Halfords for a colour match. So I guess I shall go this route but not to Halfords, to a paint distributor. I am doing a complete bead blast and repaint so exact colour match not so important.
