Try Imageworks for your graphics, there's links in this forum. I had trouble getting pearl white for mine as a paintshop would only do it in 2 pack, if you know what that is. There is someone on ebay that will do touch up pearl white if that's all your after, I think JMautocolour was the seller.

checked on imageworks and they look like the place to go so thanks for that. also what is the easiest way to get the old stickers off cos i got one off and it took ages just by scrapping away with me nail but surely there must be an easier way to get a 20 year old sticker off

for the paint go to your local mixer/specialist its around a 10er a can, which used right can do a fair area, for graphics check out brooky in this forum he can do a fair amount.
check his post in sales

heat gun for the stickers, start from far away and move slowly in as not to cause damage.
