Yeah. Thanks Spud. I know they SHOULD be able to work off those codes.
I just thought that with the tremendous power of the Internet these days, I could find the mixing formulae myself and just hand printouts to them.
Last time I got the paint there was a handwritten bit of paper attached with the formula for "sky blue" scribbled on it. I meant to copy that into my "little black book" but somehow that got overlooked and now the paper is long gone.
Of course I can go to another supplier - But I like using the Dulon product and am weary of trying another. (And this shop has been good to me in a number of ways.)
Another thing I can do is bring in the 3/4 empty 4 liter tin they sold me before (and a rattle can they supplied) of 854 to rub their noses in the fact that "if they supplied it before they must surely be able to do so again".

The white, my be a year problem. You didn't specify a year but 012 is valid

Thanks Paintjob. But 854 is definitely correct (Oh - I must be careful of saying DEFINITELY but I'm as sure as I can be). Although you're right in that I can help them further by giving the year of manufacture of my truck. (They could well have looked only at more recent Toyota colour codes for all I know.)
