Looks like a good candidate for dr. Color chip, it's simple / easy & I've experienced very good / excellent results !
Good luck!

Thanks God-Speed. This was how I spent my week-long Xmas vacation last year, thanks to YouTube help. I've never done this before (and won't again). It was really a lot of work, especially dry/wet sanding! I now know why they charge what they do at paint shops. Detailed prep work really is the key for auto painting. I was impressed by how well the paint was a match, considering my car was almost 8 years old.
