Halfords do do it. I should know i work for them. Go back in call the parts bloke a tw@t and tell him to look harder.

LA9V is Brilliant Black Metallic.

Or go to Autopaint international and get the colour you actually need! I found chavfrauds to be about three shades off when I got some colours mixed.

As above go to Autopaints and they'll match the paint exactly to that on your car, the cans will cost more but its worth it IMO. The problem with off the shelf paint is that its the colour that your car would have been when it was new and could look quite different to the colour it is now.
