I use the number 22 white gloss enamel, as it's harder wearing.

Yes it is oddly satisfying when someone says to you

'Wow, that looks like a well used bike!'.

'aving a white Boardman is all a bit laa dee daa to me anyway! (runs for cover).

If you want to match it as best you can, go to a paint shop and try to match it against a RAL chart/swatch. With the RAL number you can order whatever type of paint you want.
