Icon3 Matching custom paint

Hey friends,
I have a 93 civic hatch that I bought with a custom paint job on it. The previous owner had it sprayed at Maaco, and she did not recall where exactly she chose this color from, IE: the paint code of the color. I've been to parts stores trying to find a close match but after all my work I don't want to half-*** the final step. Luckily she gave me a small can of the paint that maaco gave her which is not dried up, yet, does ANYONE know where I can get the small sample matched into a quart so I can spray my repair areas?

If ANYONE can tell me a place that can duplicate a custom paint,either from seeing the car or from that small sample of it that I have I will personally wash two of your cars and will do so at your home or location within a 25 mile radius of Philadelphia, PA. Willing to do so at my home too

you can also go to a ppg dealer or pretty much any other paint dealer and they have a camera that they put on the car and take a picture. they then hook it up to the computer and can get you a pretty close color formula. then if you arent satified with it 100% just tint it a little and there you go

It's both. It's a paint store which sells that paint cause there used to be a PPG paint store about 10 min from my house, but you can also find PPG paint in other stores such as English Colors.
