Default RGB to car paint...

As the title suggests, my car is in for a respray and while some rust is getting fixed I'm trying to find a colour and really struggling. I have the RGB code which is R:61, G:192, B:248 so can an auto shop make this into actual paint? From what I've read they need a genuine colour code from a car.

Thanks in advance

Just go to a paint shop, any good one will have a paint book with hundreds of colors and I guarantee one of them will match. It will also be cheaper if you select a premade color as opposed to a custom one.

It is yes. Its okay, I eventually found a genuine colour code as near as I could get to the custom colour and I'm pretty happy with it so the spray is underway.
