Many. I use Jotun near Olympic. Bring them a paint code and they batch it out and mix.
Jerry, sorry for the questions. I have a particular interest being that it is that of my past profession. I have no idea of what paint products are available here, maybe you could enlighten my interest. Would you know of the type and products of the paints available, such as are they - Waterborne and solvent-borne availabilities - Water-based paint can be a little deceiving has some products actually use solvent to thin like most other paint products. I was thinking more on the lines of cellulose - Acrylic urethane - Acrylic enamel this the latter may be a good choice, due to use of heat to harden the product, here it could be applied in the way of several thin coats basically with the aid of the days heat.

I know the last code I had mixed up was a pearlescent color. Honda Pearl Shining Yellow.

Pretty sure that you can get both 2 pack and acrylic at all these places.

No unfortunately it was stolen from outside a shop while I briefly went inside!
My fault completely, I left the keys in the bike by mistake.

Sorry to hear, not good news, I thought we was going to see fresh paint, not nothing, because the bike was stolen.
