The Samba usually are a good source, but you have to remember US marketing "colors" may be different to Europe

Hi back to the royal red(l30a) I am looking for some where to buy it, I don’t want to be buying a litre of its just touch up I need,
Most of the car is original paint from 1969, so I would like to keep it that why any help would be good.

My local motor factor makes up aerosols in any colour you want. If you want to touch up just spray into the lid and use a small brush :)

Or most larger Halfords can mix aerosols to a paint code.
