i'd say that being able to find paint is one of the many prerequisites to being able to do decent body work... how are you going to paint a hood??
but to answer the question... paintscratch.com

finding paint is the hardest part.
you can goto a body shop and have them mix a can for you. IF you car is older you are better off doing that because the paint will actually match.

call the dealer, give your vin then ask for the paint code for the car. then go to your local bodyshop and have them mix it for you.

If you have a sample of the paint (a large paint chip for example), any good body shop should have the machine to anylize it and mix paint to match. If you just get them to mix paint to an oem color, expect it to look better then the rest of the car. Shiny hood, not so shiny fenders.
