take a small flake of the paint to MFI, B&Q or somewhere that do custom paint matches Like DULUX paint matching. They have some machine that reads the paint i think so they can give a colour code that u need to match the one u dont know. Not sure if they will do this for u if u dont at least buy a bit though....but it always an option.

Local bodyshop should be able to tell. Most larger shops have a huge auto mixing machine which is on a data base from all manufacters, so should be able to marry up the paint code/colour you need.
