Sprint oil filter housing colour?

Has anyone found a close readily available colour match to the original blue/green?
If so, what was the reference?
The paint finish never seems to last on these; heat, oil, combination of both?

Hi,
I use Rover Pageant Mid Blue. It is very close to the original. I last bought it as a spray can from Halfords but I imagine you will now have to get it mixed by a bodyshop supplier.

Nice colour pageant blue, have a Mini Clubman estate in this colour. It’s still available off the shelf at halfords, in their pre mixed tins, only 300ml though, but will be plenty for spraying the oil filter housing, price has increased since I last bought a few tins, currently £8.50 each. This should still be less than getting a tin mixed up.

I did a colour match at the paint shop and believe it came out well.
I’ll try get the number from my can.

Sorry it’s been a while had to dig it out as I’m packing to move.
