If you go into Halfords and ask for Vauxhall paint code 2JU then they will say that it doesn't exist.
If you ask them to look for Opel code 2JU as some people have suggested, they will say that it doesn't exist.
Calypso Red paint is under Opel code 597 in Halfords computer.

Thanks...
Beware with Paint Codes though.
I ordered a can of paint with the correct code and now have a two tone car...

Depends on colour and who's driving!?!?
A Calypso Red turbo might win in a straight line..... I'll give you that!
Not sure what happens if it has some panels in Red though! (

Guess it depends on how much your car has faded from the sun

Luckily enough the bit the jack went through was probably the least faded part on the bloody thing
