I agree any reputable body shop can make the color the car. Your car has ( ALL CARS HAVE) a paint code on them, that code is the paint formula for mixing that color! Just so you know, when they are painted at the factory the paint used is usually the lowest bidder. For example Nissan may use DuPont for a year or two then Sikkens may out bid DuPont and Nissan may use Sikkens for a few years. The only good thing about the factory paint is how it is cured compared to the way it is cured in the body shop! All so when they make a color such as silver or red or white even the factory may have several color variances of the same paint code there for you would have to custom make the formula to match a vehicle! At that point the paint code is just a starting point. Good luck on getting your car fixed!
