Ok my 71 mini clubman is antelope beige in colour which needed some touching up in places so went to jewel for paint with the code which is blvc7 they couldn't or wouldn't do it in cellulose so it had to be 2k anyways the colour provided is darker than my car so my question is allowing that the mini is 44 years old would the shade of 2k be darker than cellulose? Obviously my paint would have faded over the years but the paint supplied is way off

I'd look elsewhere. Our local paintshop (Saltney trading estate in Chester) will supply cellulose in any colour you want. They have a brilliant gizmo that scans the colour on the car then works out the precise mix needed to match. It's really very impressive.
If the paint on the car is original then by now new paint mixed to the code will usually be way off. That's why a good paintshop won't mix to the original specification, they'll mix to the colour as it is on the car.

I don't have their number to hand but next I am passing I can drop in and get the details. But I'm pretty sure that if you're not local to Chester there will be a paintshop near you that has the same equipment. It was a local bodyshop which put me onto them so maybe if you called in at one near you they'll know the local paint supplies with the facility.
