I doubt that anybody will know the paint code for a custom colour.

Just go through the colour book they give you and choose a colour similar to it.

Your best bet is to find a good oem colour, then get a paint code. Use that, it will be so much better for future use, it touch-ups or refinishing is needed.

Message the owner and ask.

Otherwise either find a similar color you like on a stock car or bring photos in to a paint shop and ask if they can match it.
