Paint matching isn't as easy as you guys think. Most of the re-sprays I see don't match and I can usually tell a re-sprayed panel from 10 feet away.

There are lots of variables in matching paint. You might have the proper code but that's just the start. There are a handful of major paint manufacturers and each may have several variations on 1 code. My Spa Yellow S2000 had like 5 variations from Glasurit alone. It's going to be trial and error if you want it almost perfect and most shops aren't willing to do it because it is time consuming and cost prohibitive on small parts.
