What do you need a Sprayer? or a place to get the correct colour paint? Matching it to the original colour from the paint code would be tricky, matching it to the colour of the car using the paint templates should give you a closer match. ie with fading etc. I know a good sprayer near Pontypridd if you need one.
Alternatively buy a Silverstone ;-)

Ideally, id like a place which will give me the correct paint so i could give to my mate to do the spraying.
I've found out of a paint shop in pontypridd so i think i'll give them a ring.

Gad's right.
You will find that the correct yellow comes in several shades, to deal with paint fade.
Matching cards is the only way, and a lot of the blending is down to the skill of the sprayer.

Yeah, my sprayer said that yellow is a hard one to match, and there will be sevral shades to compensate for fade etc, but the one we were given is apperantly shocking and miles out.
Im taken my car over to some paint shop he's used for years with him later, so hopefully we can match a colour from the paint chips they have.
