Trouble finding paint

So I need a can of paint made up for a part I bought. I've looked at the paint code on my car and it says K9 however on every site I search that up K9 is some blue colour. As you can see my car is red. Also I don't know what kind of paint to get or where to even get a can made.

    Hi Mat,

    MK1 paints are someone we use locally Wednesbury (West Midlands) they're very good! give them a call might ask for more details off your VIN plate and maybe reg to identify correct code.

    Ooooh fantastic! Will they be able to mix the paint for me too? If so then they're only a 20 minute drive which is perfect. Thank you!

    Just tried and it rang through to voicemail, I'll try again in half an hour or so. I'm out and about today the other side of Brum to collect a back box so I could always just head to the store and see if they're open.

    Got some paint mixed today! Dad actually sent me to a place in Smethwick where he has been before and a couple of cans of paint and lacquer was a little less than £50. Like a muppet I am I have the ST180 deflector but I forgot to buy the spats so they should be arriving sometime this week. Once they're painted then it's a job for me and the old man to get them onto the car!

    I'm really happy with how it has turned out.
