you might just try a good paint shop, and have them mix it for you.

You can buy official paint from the dealer, I think, and then take it to your favorite body shop.

Or, just go to your favorite body shop, and have them color match something for you. This usually means you will need a paint sample, and if nothing else, you could pick up some touch-up paint from a dealer.

I know that here in israel (most probably in the US aswell) the serial number of the paint is located somewhere in the engine bay and that way with the serial all paintshops can make the paint just my 2cent

There is a paint code located in your engine bay. I don't know if thats the same thing, but it might be a good start. Now all you gotta do (hopefully) is find the paint code and then take your car to a body shop.

Goto the dealer and look for a car in that color. Write down the paint code and goto the bodyshop. simple

I would get creative if you're going to paint the entire car. Do something sexay and original like a dark seal grey or something.

just my .02
