Research big auto body shops in your area. Call and see if they have the digital camera for taking a picture of the paint color of your part that you want to match. Your part’s paint probably isn’t exactly what it was when new but if that is the color you want the proceed. Ask if they can mix paint to match the formula digitally given from your picture and entered in their mixing equipment or at a body paint supplier. The digital age has found its way into almost every business.
Ask how much they would charge to paint your parts or if you feel up to it, do it yourself.  I did this method a few years ago and I was very happy with the paint color match.
