The best bet imo is to go to your nearest colour match paint shop that will prepare the paint and put it in aerosols. If you are not matching the current paint, again the paint shops that offer paint matching will be able to prepare any Ducati colour you require and sell it to you in aerosols.

I paid £11 per can locally last year.

Well you have your Rosso Red PPG 473101
And your Anniversary Red PPG 487111

PPG and Max-Meyer are part of the same group, MM number for Rosso is 5003M
Sorry don't have the MM number for Anniversary.

Rosso is for early models and Anniversary is used on later models. Exactly when they changed over is debatable. I have read 1998 and 2003 from the same source.

The only way forward with this is to take a good example of the colour to a paint supplier and match to it. It's their every day bread and butter.

I pay about £12 for mixed paint in an aerosol, so £11-£12 is about the ball park.

It's a waste of time trying to find an off the shelf car match.. The paint and cans are crap anyway.
