Answer 8

Unfortunately paint fades with time. To match the paint exactly you will need an expert or expert machine as previously suggested. Unless your car is brand new finding the "stock" colour may not be your answer! A good painter will be able to make you up some paint very close to match. You will NEVER get a perfect match though!

Good luck

all cars have a paint code either on a tag under the hood of part of the vin number ..any good paint shop can tell you where it is and then you'll get the exact color it was when it was new..  it would help if i knew what kind of car it was . i might have been able to tell you here..
