You're probably better off taking the car or part thereof to a paint shop and getting the colours matched. There's a very strong possibility that the colours on your car now are different to the original formula colour. (And the 2-pack vs acrylic vs nitrocellulose formulae and tinters are a whole 'nother story).

Is your paint original, or has the car been resprayed in the intervening period? And if so, with what sort of paint? If you take the car or a part of it to a professional, they'll be able to advise you.
