If you're newbie in fixing paint problems, your best bet is to bring it to a local body shop. It can cost you a bit more but you can be sure of the result.

I work at a Auto body shop and we work on plenty of cars without paint codes. We have a special camera that takes a picture of the car. Once we plug the camera into the computer, it makes a paint code to mach the paint on the car. I suggest checking to see if one of your local body shops has this type of equipment....
