Default matching custom paint color

is it possible for a company to have a sort of tool or whatnot to match the auto paint perfectly?

i have this custom turqoise color on the car that was from the previous owner but i cant find a paint code for it

the paint looks pretty good and so does the clear coat doesnt look faded at all was mostly garaged kept for its paint job life of about 6 years now i think.


i need to match my overfenders im putting on tommarrow and my front fenders im getting next week.


any ideas? should a reputable auto paint shop be able to match it well?

whats a good price range for painting the front fenders and the rearoverfenders to match?

im in central florida.

You should be able to take it to a auto paint supply co. and have them match it. They got something as I recall

I doubt it. You will need the color code and a pic taken if it to closely color match it. If its a tricoat then it is super hard to match. Good luck, hope I am wrong.
