Making the presumption that 2k is a superior paint I was wondering if it's possible to get a colour originally produced in cellulose, in 2k form?

From what I've been told, you can spray a 2k clear over a 1k base (colour) coat. We're lucky and have a really helpful paint supplies place called Rainbow Paints round here, if you've got somewhere like that just ask and they will soon tell you al you need to know.

Yes, almost every colour is available in both single a 2K especially if you know the paint code.

Problems start however if the paint you are trying to match was originally custom, e.g. mixed/made straight from a paint rack.

 

For flat colours the original paint tints that were used to mix and establish the colour can be determined by a Spectrum analyser; good paint shops will have these. Metallic paint can get trickier as it is harder to match the quantity of metal flake used.
