You should be able to go to a good paint supply store (auot paints) and get it. They can either look it up or they have a laser scanner that can match it then mix the color.

ok, your best option is colorrite.com
my family owns a body shop, i have tried to match the pearl paint, it is a pain in the butt to match. its a base/mid/clear. 3 stages. color rite is as close as your going to get. dont put much faith in the scanner for this, almost impossible to hit it right.

Colorite. I recently had a body shop paint part of the cowling in Colorite 05 blue. The match is excellent! Go to their site - they have a great cross ref for factory colours

Applying the pearl is where you have to worry. Too much and the match can be off. As Joseph said, you got the base white, then pearl, then clearcoat.
Colorite is pretty decent. And if you are spraying a smaller panel, the rattle can actually works very well. A nice fan spray pattern comes out of the can.

Too much pearl, and the color will have a bit of yellowish to it. Hit me up in a pm if you need any help. I have painted all kinds of stuff. Took Autobody in trade school. Some others here are good too!
Good luck:beerchug:
