Just had my first attempt at a little rust treatment on my van, but where can I get a tin of spray paint to match the original white/ cream colour of the van. What companies can match it if I have the code. ?

Halfords stock Rattle cans for them but any decent paint sprayer can get them mixed up

WHS. Don't rely on the paint code as it's unlikely the paint is the same shade now as when it was squirted on over 30 years ago. A local automotive paint supplier should be able to mix up a couple of rattle cans that will match. That's what I did.

Local auto paint suppliers are usually helpfull.

When I asked for a litre of paint and 2 rattle cans of same colour , he suggested buying a litre then he takes a little out to make up rattle cans. You end up with much cheaper rattle cans, plenty of paint for brushing/touching up, and all the paint supplied is same colour
