The Citroen dealer is best in my opinion for spray cans, they do a pack with both the base colour and the lacquer for not much money.

Halfrauds can make it up on the spot for you with the code - I had some made up a year ago when I decided to repain the internal 'rubberised' trim that has flaked off. They mix it up and transfer it to a pressurised can nowadays. They do touch up tins, aerosols, 500ml and 1 litre tins for spray guns. About £10 depending on size you want.

No need for a form - here's the link to their store locator (I put plymouth in this one), then choose a store, click details, then at the bottom it tells you all the instore services at that branch, including paint mixing! Simples...
